Title: Tagliatelle With Chinese Vegetables
Yield: 2 Servings

Ingredients

      3    spring onions; sliced
      1    2.5cm. piece fresh ginger  
           -grated
      3 tb dark sesame oil
     75 g  baby sweetcorn; sliced
     50 g  water-chestnuts, sliced
     75 g  button mushrooms - quartered
     50 g  mange-tout - sliced 
           -diagonally
      2 tb soy sauce
    175 g  tagliatelle - cooked 'al 
           -dente'

Instructions

This is a kind of western chow mein, quickly and easily prepared. A
delicious way to eat tagliatelle, the soft pasta contrasting with the
crunchiness of the Chinese vegetables.

Stir-fry the spring onions and ginger gently in the oil for a couple
of minutes so that they soften, then toss in the prepared vegetables
and stir until they heat through and begin to soften - about 4-5
minutes. Then stir in the soy sauce and heat through again, stirring
all the time. Pour this mixture over the hot, drained tagliatelle in
a warm serving-dish, toss thoroughly and serve immediately.

California Cuisines come from all over the world. The cultures and
Nationalities of the world come together here. California, itself is a
melting pot. California also has a reputation of some people being health
nuts. I am one. I just got through eating lunch, which consisted of a bowl
of Lentil/ Couscous and 4 Dutch Rusks. Total fat content of less than 1
Gram. It was very satisfying too. I want to share a delicious recipe from
one of our cultures here.

Slice chicken meat into thin slices so that it can be eaten without
cutting. Mis sake (or sherry) and soy sauce together and place chicken in
this for about 30 minutes. Cut pappers into halves and take out seeds. Heat
iol. Cover chicken with cornstarch. When oil is hot, fry chicken until
tender. Drain on paper towels. Fry green pappers until just slft. Drain on
paper towels. Sprinkle chicken and green peppers with salt and pepper.
Arrange decoratively on serving paltter. Makes 4 Servings.

Yield: 1

Ingredients

    200 g  lapsang souchong tea
    200 g  rice
    200 g  brown sugar
     50 ml sesame oil
      4    quails
    3/4 lb chinese noodles
    3/4 lb bean sprouts
      1 c  thinly-slivered carrots
      1 c  thinly-slivered radishes
      1 c  thinly-slivered ham
      1 c  thinly-slivered cucumber
    1/4 c  peanuts
      3 tb five spice oil
      1 md spring onions; cut into 1 
           -1/2 (1
      1    to 2)
      1    ; pieces
      7 sl fresh root ginger
      1 ts dried chilli flakes
      2 ts szechuan peppercorns
    3/4 c  groundnut oil
  1 1/2 tb dark soy sauce
      2 tb chinese rice vinegar
      2 tb sugar
  1 1/2 ts chinese chilli sauce

Instructions

Boil two large pots of water. Blanch the bean sprouts in one of the pots
and cook the noodles in the other, stirring with chopsticks.

When they are both cooked freshen the noodles and bean sprouts in two
separate bowls of iced water. Drain the noodles into a bowl and mix in
the sesame oil, using your hands to coat them.

Put the quails on a small plate and steam them for 8 minutes - keep them
on the plate to avoid them sticking to the steamer.

Mix the rice, sugar and tea together in a bowl. Cut a piece of foil to
fit the bottom of your wok. Add 9 dessertspoons of the tea mixture to the
wok, then place a raised circular rack in the wok so that it rises above
the tea mixture. Put the wok on a hot stove.

Remove the quails from the steamer and rub them with sesame oil. Place
them on the rack in the wok when the tea starts to smoke. Cover the wok
with foil and cook for 5 minutes on the heat and 5 minutes off the heat.

Remove the foil, take out the quails with tongs and cut into breast and
leg joints with scissors.

Take the tea and foil out of the wok and return it to the heat. Add the
groundnut oil and quails, toss and turn them until crispy.

To make the dressing, whisk together the five spice oil, soy sauce, chilli
flakes, salt, sugar, rice wine vinegar and chilli sauce.

Mix the noodles and bean sprouts in a large serving dish and pour the
dressing over, using your hands to mix together. Place the raw vegetables
in clumps around the noodles and put the quail joints on top of the salad.
Serve.

      4 lg Soft-shell crabs
           Vegetable oil; for deep 
           -frying
    2/3 c  Flour
    1/2 c  Cornstarch
      1 lg Egg; beaten
      1 c  Ice-cold soda water
           Bayou Blast; see * Note
      1 tb Finely-chopped fresh parsley
           - leaves

Instructions

* Note:  See the "Bayou Blast - {Emeril's Creole Seasoning}" recipe which
is included in this collection.

In a small nonreactive saucepan, combine the sugar, vinegar, and fruit
juices, bring to a boil, and cook until reduced by three-fourths, or the
mixture has thickened like syrup.  Remove from the heat and pour the
mixture intoa small glass bowl.  Let cool completely.
Heat the olive oil in a medium-size saute pan over medium heat.
Add the peppers and onions and season with salt and pepper.  Cook,
stirring for 2 minutes.  Add the cabbage and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes.
Season again with salt and pepper.  Remove from the heat and stir in the
garlic.  Pour the mixture into a medium-size mixing bowl and let cool.  Add
the pasta and toss well.  Add the sesame oil, soy sauce, cilantro, and
peanuts, season with salt and pepper, and toss again.  Set aside.
To clean the crabs, use a pair of kitchen shears to
cut them across the face.  Remove the eye sockets and the lower mouth.
Season with salt and pepper.  Preheat the fryer.  In a medium-size mixing
bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, egg, and soda water and mix well to
make a smooth batter.  Seasonwith salt and pepper.  Dip each crab into the
tempura batter, shaking off any excess.  Carefully holding the top of each
crab, drag the legs through the oil for 5 seconds to allow the individual
legs to fry separately.  Then carefully flip the crabs top-side down into
the oil.  Fry until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.  Turn the crabs over with
tongs and continue frying for another 2 to 3 minutes.  Drain on paper
towels.  Season with Bayou Blast.  To serve, mound the cabbage mixture in
the center of a platter.  Arrange the crabs around the cabbage mixture.
Drizzle the gastrique over the entire platter and garnish with the parsley.

Title: Tempura The Japanese Way
Yield: 1 Servings

Ingredients

      1    koromo ( batter )
      1    egg beaten
      1 c  cold water
      2 tb dry white wine
      1 c  flour
      1    tentsuyu(dipping sauce)
      1 tb dashi no moto( fish stock)
      1 c  water
      2 tb mirin( sweet rice wine )
      1    or 1 tbs sugar
      2 tb sake ( or dry white wine )
    1/4 c  soy sauce
      1    ginger root to taste
      1    vegetables & fish: ex:
      1    carrots, onions, mushrooms
      1    peppers, zucchini, snow pea,
      1    squash, eggplant etc. etc.
      1    okra
      1    shrimps, crab, scallops,
      1    squid, cod. etc. etc.

Instructions

Before you begin here a few essential tips to remember: youUll need a
deep thick wall pan ( wok o.k. ), filled with 1 inch of peanut oil
preferred ( Never lard or shortening ),slice vegetables thin enough
for even cooking, fry in small batches and never crowd, and have the
temperature of the oil from 340 for vegetables or 360 degrees for
fish. Cold water in batter is a must to keep the flour from being
sticky .Do a trial try of frying so youUll know how long vegetables
or fish need to cook. Author did not mention  poultry but I surmise
it would be cooked as the fish is. Vegetables and fish were the
initial things cooked this way in the history of tempura due to their
trade with the Portuguese and Dutch merchants. Make the batter: Beat
egg with water. Mix in flour and whisk quickly. Set aside. Make the
tempura dip: Boil the dashi no moto ( this is a dried soup stock from
fish or poultry usually contained in tea bag type of packing )in the
water for 2 or 3 minutes. Turn off the heat and add all the remaining
ingredients. Prepare  the vegetables or fish but cutting into rings,
strips,  cubes etc. For fish, dredge in flour before dipping in
batter. Vegetables are just dipped into the batter. Let excess batter
drip off with either fish or vegetables.( meanwhile you will have had
the oil preheated in the pan to the right temperature for either fish
or vegetables Drop into oil by hand or use  a tbs for vegetable
cubes. Take the vegetables or fish out of the oil when slightly
browned. Serve the tempura with the Tentsuyu dip along with
rice.Place  rice in a bowl, top with tempura and a few tbs. of the
tentsuyu dip. Or serve tempura over Japanese noodles ( soba ).

Note all Japanese ingredients may be found  readily in most
supermarkets or gourmet grocers today.  Also, there are other
variations in frying tempura; this is one basic historic method.
Prior to using peanut oil, sesame seed oil was used mainly when
tempura first became popular in Japan, over 400 years ago.

water begins to boil, put in the oxtail, carrots and the onions with the
cloves pressed into them, and bring back to the boil, skimming off the
foam from time to time. Cover the pan and cook for 2 hours over a medium
heat. Then reduce the heat and cook for another 2 hours.

      4    ripe mangoes; chilled
    2/3 l  cooked sticky rice
    225 ml coconut milk
     38 g  sugar
    1/4 ts salt

Instructions

1.  Rinse rice in a colander until water runs clear; drain well.

overnight.

3.  Drain rice and spread in an even layer in a steamer lined with
cheesecloth or in a stick rice steaming basket. Cook, covered, over boiling
water for 40-45 minutes or until tender and translucent.

4.  Remove from heat and fluff rice with a spatula. Serve hot. .SH "Mango
with Sticky Rice"

1.  Rinse mangoes and chill them whole. Peel and slice mangoes just before
serving to keep the fresh sweet taste.

2.  In a saucepan combine sticky rice and coconut milk and cook on medium
heat for 5 minutes or until thick.

3.  Stir in sugar and salt. The amount of sugar depends on the sweetness of
the mangoes. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for 2 minutes.

4.  Serve warm on a platter with chilled mango slices arranged around the
edge.

Author's Notes:
Sticky rice is a very special kind of rice, sometimes called sweet rice or
glutinous rice. Go to the Asian market and ask specifically for sticky
rice. When they try to talk you out of buying it, stand firm and INSIST
that "yes," you know how to cook it and "yes," this is really what you
want. The following recipes are from Keo's Thai Cuisine by Keo Sananikone:
Berkeley, CA: Ten Speed Press, ISBN # 0-89815-183-X

Mold the rice-coconut-milk mixture in a bowl, then invert and place on a
large round serving platter. Remove bowl. Arrange sliced mangoes all
around. If possible, garnish with some fresh flowers. -- CMT).

Title: Thai Aubergine Sates - Robert Carrier
Yield: 4 Servings

Ingredients

  1 1/4 lb eggplant; or 4 small
      1 tb curry powder
    1/4 ts ground coriander
    1/4 ts turmeric
      1 pn cayenne
           salt
      3 tb peanut oil
           THAI PEANUT SAUCE:
      4 oz coconut cream
      4 oz salted peanuts
    1/2 ts turmeric
    1/2 ts curry powder
    1/4 ts cayenne
      2 tb sugar
      1 ts lemon juice
           salt

Instructions

1. Cut the eggplant into thin long slices then cut each slice into 1 X
2-inch
rectangles. Place the eggplant strips in a bowl and add the curry powder,
ground coriander, turmeric, cayenne, and salt to taste.

2. Wet your hands and gently knead the spices into the eggplant, adding 1
teaspoon each of peanut oil and water to help work in the spice mixture.
Knead again. Cover the bowl and leave for 2 hours.

3. To make the Thai Peanut Sauce, grind the peanuts coarsely (I use a clean
electric coffee grinder). Add the turmeric, curry powder, and cayenne to
the
coconut cream and cook over a medium heat, stirring until the sauce comes
to
a boil. Reduce heat to low and add the peanuts. Continue to cook, stirring
constantly, for 2 minutes. Add the lemon juice and salt to taste. Remove
sauce from heat and cool.

4. Thread 8 thin metal or bamboo skewers with 4 pieces of eggplant each.
The
skewers enter the eggplants 2 to 3 times like a needle threading through
cloth.

5. Heat the grill to high. Brush the aubergine sates with the remaining
peanut oil and grill 4 inches from the heat, turning frequently, until the
sates are cooked through (4-6 minutes on each side).

6. Serve 2 skewers per person, and garnish each plate with Thai Peanut
Sauce.

Serves 4 as a starter

before the heat is uncomfortable and you have to pull it away; 4
seconds for medium coals.

NOTES : This traditional Thai snack-spicy ground beef served on orange
slices makes an unusual and refreshing appetizer. For authentic
flavor, substitute Thai fish sauce for the soy sauce. In Asian
stores or most supermarkets, fish sauce costs less than $1 per
16-ounce bottle.
Here are 5 more recipes from the Prevention Freezer Cookbook. It
is a great cookbook for cooking in bulk and freezing meals for
lazy and busy cooks. Most of the freezer cookbooks rely on canned
soup for the sauce -- and ground beef for everything else. I am
sick of seeing umpteen versions of barfaroni, and this cookbook
has a lot of other, less familiar, food choices in addition to
having lower fat.

  [Home]  Thai Bu Pad Hom Yai (Crab & Onion)  [Home]  




Title: [Thai] Bu Pad Hom Yai (Crab & Onion)
Yield: 5 Servings

Ingredients

      1 c  Crabmeat (a large crab,
           - broken up; or "loose"  
           -crabmeat)
      2    [duck] eggs
    1/2 c  Hom yai (white onion),  
           -diced
    1/2 c  Khuen chai (Chinese celery)
    1/2 c  Ton hom (spring onion),  
           -sliced thi
      2 tb Kratiem (garlic), chopped
      1 ts Nam pla (fish sauce)

Instructions

This is a simple stir fry, that shows that not all Thai dishes are laden
with spices and chili!

In Thailand we buy a large crab and a bag of "baby" crabs - about an inch
across), still alive, and take them home to make this dish.  Since baby
crabs are not common in western supermarkets, and most people have an
aversion to killing them by dropping them into a hot wok, this version of
the recipe may be preferred.

Western celery can be used if Chinese celery (celeriac) is unavailable.

Method:

Whisk the eggs with the fish sauce.

Place a wok or skillet over medium low heat and saute the onion and garlic
in a little oil until golden and translucent.  Add the crabmeat, and stir
fry until nearly cooked through.

Drizzle in the eggs, using the spatula in a brisk chopping motion to break
up the cooked eggs into filaments, then add the remaining ingredients.

Alternatively cook the eggs to form a thin omelette, and then roll it up
and slice it, adding the slices of egg to the cooking crabmeat when nearly
cooked.

Serving & Storage:

This is a "one plate" dish served on its own as a light breakfast, or
luncheon dish, or with other items as part of a Thai dinner. Colonel Ian F.
Khuntilanont-Philpott

****note about coconut milk - just use 1-2 tablespoons. Freeze the rest.

Trim lemongrass stalks of root ends, outer leaves and grassy tops. Cut

chiles, cut in half lengthwise. Place all above in pot and add chicken
broth, bring to a simmer.

Add chicken breasts to broth, simmer until just cooked, 5-8 minute. Remove

  [Home]  Thai Chicken And Coconut Milk Soup (Tom Ka Gai Or Kai Tom)  [Home]  




Title: Thai Chicken And Coconut Milk Soup (Tom Ka Gai Or Kai Tom)
Yield: 1 Serving

Ingredients

      1    Can 12-Oz Coconut Milk
    1/4    Lb Chicken Breast; Cut into 
           -small cubes
           Juice And Grated Peel Of 1 
           -Lime
      1    Ea 4-In Piece Of Lemon 
           -Grass; Very thin slices
      4    Slices Galanga
           Chiles
           Cilantro

Instructions

Pour the lime juice on the chicken and let stand while you prepare the
rest of the soup.  In a medium saucepan, place the coconut milk, lemon
grass, grated lime peel, galanga or ginger, and (optionally) chiles.
(The optional part is that if you don't want the whole dish to taste
spicy, add the chiles later; the earlier you add them, the hotter the
resulting dish.) Bring the coconut milk to a simmer.

When the soup is simmering, add the lime-soaked chicken pieces and stir
to distribute them.  Reduce the heat so the soup stays just below a boil
and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, or till the chicken pieces are finished
cooking.  Remove from heat and serve immediately with fresh cilantro
leaves for garnish.

Now, the *best* way I ever had this soup was with pieces of fresh
grouper instead of chicken.  I also added slices of kumquats instead of
the ginger, and used the sweet Fresno chiles instead of Thai birds.  We
also served it over Vietnamese rice noodles.  Was it southeast Asian or
Caribbean?  Who cares, it was wonderful.  If you can't find grouper,
it'd be good with any tender, delicate white fish -- sole, maybe, or a
very fresh sea bass, or maybe little chunks of monkfish.  I believe I've
had this with shrimp as well.  (Grouper, BTW, is a type of fish common
in the Caribbean and, if I recall, in other warm-water parts of the
world; the flesh is very white, very tender, and quite delicately
flavored.  I've seen it in one Asian grocery store in the Bay Area, as
well as in the Bahamas, so I'd guess that Gulf Coast netters should be
able to find it readily.)

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

NOTES : 1.  Galanga is similar to ginger, an edible rhizome available in
most Asian groceries.  If not available fresh, you can usually
find it frozen.  (Well, this is the SF Bay Area; if you can't find
it at Tin Tin or the New Castro Market, you have to have friends
smuggle it in from Bangkok for you...  Other parts of the country
may vary.)

2.  Chile peppers add a lot to the dish; I've had it so hot that I
could barely eat it, and I've had it completely smooth, sweet and
mild.  I like it in the middle.

3.  Lemon grass adds a lot to the flavor and aroma, but as near as
I can tell it isn't edible unless you puree it.  (If there's
sufficient demand, I'll print my recipe for Vietnamese turkey
fajitas.) I just eat around the slices of lemon grass and ginger.

chopped scallions 1-3 tsp lemon grass cilantro (preferably fresh. I
sometimes leave this out. Niels says that's defeating the whole

juice from loads of limes (8? i can never put in enough) serrano
chillies (or any other hot chili pepper, again preferably fresh, but
powdered will do) 1 tsp galanga powder Heat the coconut milk in a
pot. Add everything else. As the lemon grass is inedible, put it in a
tea ball and immerse the ball in the soup so you can retrieve it
later. Cook until the chicken is done and the soup is hot (30
minutes?).  Taste to see if it needs more limes (it always does) or
more hot peppers (it's better to start mild and build up to the
desired level of spicyness).

To make spicy peanut sauce:  Combine sauce ingredients in a small pan

minute. Divide into two portions for use on chicken and pizza; set
aside.

To make Thai chicken:  Cook the chicken in olive oil over medium-high
heat, stirring, until just cooked 5 to 6 minutes. Do not overcook.
Set aside in the refrigerator until chilled through. Once chilled,
coat the chicken with 1/4 cup Spicy Peanut Sauce.  Set aside in the
refrigerator.

To make the pizza:  Place pizza  stone in the center of the oven and
preheat to 500 degreesF for one hour before cooking the pizzas.

Use a large spoon to spread 1/4 cup spicy peanut sauce evenly over the
surface of the prepared dough within the rim. Cover the sauce with
3/4 cup shredded mozzarella.

Distribute half the chicken pieces evenly over the cheese followed by
half the green onions, bean sprouts and carrots, respectively.
Sprinkle an additional 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella over the other
other toppings and top the pizza with 1 tbs. chopped roasted peanuts.

Transfer the pizza to the oven; bake until the crust is crisp and
golden and the cheese at the center is bubbly, 9 to 10 minutes. When
cooked through, carefully remove the pizza from the oven. Sprinkle 1
tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro over the hot, cheese surface. Slice
and serve. Repeat with remaining ingredients for a second pizza.

      2    chicken breasts
      6    bamboo skewers cut in half
      3 fl white wine vinegar
      8    ouces sugar
      2    cloves garlic
      1    red chilli
      1    lemon grass; (soft end 
           -crushed)
      1    juice and zest of 1 lime
      1    oil for frying
    120 g  thai fragrance rice
    100 ml coconut milk and 200ml 
           -water; (mixed)
      1 pn salt
  
  ----------------------------GARNISH-----------------------------------
      1    deep fried carrot
      1    chopped chives
      1    spring onion

Instructions

In a pan put the vinegar, sugar, garlic, chilli, lemon grass, lime zest and
juice. Bring to the boil and cook for 5 minutes. Pour into a container and
allow to cool. Cut chicken breasts into 1 inch cubes and thread onto
skewers,
allowing 3 skewers per person. Place into a dish and cover with half of the
dipping sauce.

Allow to marinate while you cook the rice.

Thai rice will benefit from being soaked in cold water for 2-3 hours if you
can spare the time. Next strain it off and place in a saucepan along with
the
coconut mixture. Bring to the boil, reduce heat and simmer gently for 20-25
minutes stirring occasionally until the rice softens. If you need to add a
little water, season with a little salt and keep warm.

Note: If you add rose water this will enhance the flavour of the coconut.
Fry
the chicken skewers in a little oil, in a hot pan until they are golden
brown
and cooked through. Serve with the rice and remainder of the dipping sauce.
Garnish with the spring onion, deep fried carrot and chopped chives.

SALAD IDEA: Serve chicken with a salad of sliced cucumber and shredded
carrot and radish marinated in rice wine vinegar, sugar and salt. The
sweet-tart flavor of the salad complements the spiciness of the chicken.

Title: Thai Chicken With Basil
Yield: 4 Servings

Ingredients

      1    to
  1 1/2 lb boneless chicken breast
           -- (boneless thigh could 
           -also
           -- be used)
      2 tb vegetable oil
      1 tb coarsely chopped garlic
      1 tb minced fresh kii noo chili 
           -or
           -- Serrano chili (or 
           -Habenero
           -- pepper)
      2 tb fish sauce (I use a little
           -- less)
      1 tb water
      1 ts soy sauce
      1 tb sugar
      1 c  Thai basil or other basil
           -- leaves; packed
     10    long --  very thin strips 
           -cut
           -- from a sweet red pepper; 
           -or
           -- so

Instructions

This recipe is basically from "Real Thai" by Nancie McDermott with
adaptations.   Fresh basil is essential, preferably Thai basil, but in any
event any basil is generally a lot cheaper in Asian markets than in
supermarkets. Thai basil is a larger plant, usually has dull green leaves
with purplish stems and is very pungent.  The little tiny Thai red kii noo
chili peppers are also important, I don't know how serranos would work but
I
have used habenero pepper as a substitute.
Mince the chicken with a sharp knife or cut it into bite size pieces and
set aside
Heat a wok or large, deep skillet over medium-high heat.  Add the oil and
swirl it to coat the surface.  Drop a piece of garlic into the pan.  If it
sizzles immediately, the oil is ready.  Add the garlic and stir briefly.
Add the minced chili and stir until the garlic turns golden, about 30
seconds or so.  Add the chicken and stir fry until it changes color, about
1
1/2 minutes depending on what size pieces you are dealing with.
Add the fish sauce, water, and soy sauce and stir-fry to combine well with
the meat, about 1 1/2 minutes again.  Add the sugar and stir fry for
another
30 seconds.  Add the basil and the red pepper strips. Toss and stir fry
until the basil begins to wilt.
Transfer the chicken mixture to a serving platter, garnish with leftover
basil leaves, and serve hot with steamed rice.

    1/2 c  minced fresh basil --
      1 tb tamari soy sauce; to 2 tbsp

Instructions

* (I used half water to lower calories and fat)

Drain and rinse the chickpeas. In the cooker, combine the chickpeas,
coconut milk, garlic, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, curry powder and
coriander. Lock the lid in place. Over high heat, bring to high pressure.
Lower the heat just enough to maintain high pressure and cook for 18
minutes. Allow the pressure to come down naturally or use a quick-release
method. Remove the lid, tilting it away from you to allow any excess steam
to escape. If the chickpeas are not tender, either return to high pressure
for a few more minutes or replace (but do not lock) the lid and simmer
until the chickpeas are done. Add the basil and soy sauce to taste as you
break up the sweet potatoes and stir to create a thick sauce.

boiling point, then turn off heat, cover and let steep for 30 minutes.
While spices are steeping, place peanuts in a blender and pour in enough
of the water to cover. Blend on high for 2 minutes. Add cocoa and
remaining water, rinsing down the sides of the blender. Blend on high for
another 2 minutes. Strain into a 1-quart measuring cup or bowl. Add
steeped soy milk, straining out spices. In a medium skillet over
medium-high heat, saute onion and celery in oil until onion becomes
translucent, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and tomato and continue cooking
until tomato has softened, about 3 minutes. Transfer vegetable
mixture and 3/4 of the roasted pepper to the blender. Blend on high until
smooth and creamy, adding a little of the soy milk mixture if necessary.
Combine puree and remaining soy milk mixture in the saucepan. Heating
over a medium-low flame, stir in ginger juice, cayenne, lime juice, salt,
and pepper. Garnish each serving with remaining bell pepper chunks and
chopped peanuts, if desired.

By "Karen C. Greenlee"  on Mar 21, 1999.

NOTES : To roast peanuts yourself, place them on a cookie sheet and bake
at 325  F for 10 to 15 minutes.  Peanuts should be aromatic and
only slightly golden brown.

Title: Thai Chuu-Chii (Red Curry) Of Coffin Bay Scal
Yield: 4 Servings

Ingredients

      1    stephen ceideburg
     10    white peppercorns
      1    mace
      1 ts thai shrimp paste
      3    to 5 long red dried chillies
      4    cloves shallots
    1/2    stalk lemon grass
      1 ts galangal
    1/2 ts kaffir lime zest
      1 tb chopped coriander root
    1/2 ts salt
    250 ml coconut cream
      2 tb to 3 tb red curry paste
      1 tb fish sauce
    1/2 tb palm sugar
     24    coffin bay scallops
    125 ml coconut milk
      5    kaffir lime leaves
      1 lg fresh red chilli, julienned
      2 tb coriander leaves
      1    jasmine rice

Instructions

A colleague who recently visited the Darley Street Thai at its new
location in Bayswater Road, Kings Cross, described this dish as
"exquisite". Though the recipe may seem dauntingly lengthy, most of
it is simply a long list of ingredients for red curry paste, which
can be made in quantity and stored in a container in the fridge for
3-4 weeks for further use. Frozen kaffir limes can be bought very
cheaply in good Asian stores, where the rest of the ingredients
listed should also be avail- able. Grate the limes for zest while
they are stir frozen.

In a mortar and pestle or spice grinder, grind to a powder 10 white
peppercorns and a few sheaves of mace. Roast 1 teaspoon of Thai shrimp
paste by zapping it in a microwave oven or putting it on a little
piece of foil under the grill.

Put the pepper-mace mixture and the shrimp paste in a blender (David
recommends a blender but some of us will have to make do with a food
processor or the mortar and pestle) and add 3- 5 long red dried
chillies, deseeded, washed and chopped, 4 cloves of true shallots,
(or substitute the same quantity of Spanish onion), 1/2 stalk of
lemon grass, sliced, 1 teaspoon galangal. peeled and chopped, 1/2
teaspoon kaffir lime zest, 1 tablespoon of coriander root, scraped
and chopped, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and a little water. Process to a
very fine paste. This may take up to 10 minutes. Transfer to a
storage jar.

In a medium-size pan, boil 250 mL coconut cream over high heat,
stirring constantly, until the oil separates out, about 3-5 minutes.
(If using canned coconut cream, don't shake the can -use the solid
mass of coconut at the top of the can, plus as much of the rest as
you need to make up 250mL. If it doesn't separate within 5 minutes,
add a tablespoon of oil.) Add 2-3 tablespoons of red curry paste and
fry for 5 minutes, stirring, until fra- grant. Add 1 tablespoon fish
sauce, 1/2 tablespoon palm sugar and fry until colour deepens. Add 24
Coffin Bay scallops (12 if other dishes will be served
simultaneously) and 125 mL coconut milk. Check for sweet-sour
balance. Throw in 5 kaffir lime leaves, shredded, 1 large fresh red
chilli, julienned, and 2 tablespoons of either coriander or basil
leaves. Serve with jasmine rice.

Title: Thai Corn Black Bean Salad
Yield: 4 Servings

Ingredients

      2 c  corn kernels, cooked
      2 c  black beans, cooked
    1/2 c  celery, sliced
    1/2 c  red onion, diced
    1/2 c  red bell pepper, diced
    1/4 c  cilantro, chopped
      2 ea jalapeno chiles, seeded & - 
           -minced
      2 ea garlic cloves, minced
      1 ts ginger, minced
      3 tb sesame oil
      2 tb rice vinegar
      1 tb lime juice
      1    salt, to taste

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine corn, beans, celery, onion, pepper, cilantro,
chiles, garlic & ginger.  Set aside.

In another bowl, whisk together oil, vinegar & lime juice. Pour over
the ingredients in the large bowl & mix well. Season with salt &
chill until ready to serve.

MARK'S NOTE: I am not sure what makes this "Thai", however the taste
is not bad.  I especially like using black beans in contrast with
other bright colours.  I used galangal in place of ginger in this
recipe plus a pinch of lemongrass.  I replaced the red onion with a
couple of large green onions, chopped.

Next time, I'll use red chiles rather than jalapeno chiles.
Jalapenoes, especially when seeded, do not have much taste. A couple
of red chiles, finely minced should go a long way towards perking up
an otherwise promising dish.  Oh yes, do increase the lime juice. I
used as much juice as I could squeeze out of half a large lime & it
could have still used more, so 1 tb is not nearly enough.  Try
garnishing with kaffir lime leaves as well.

           -with 1 tablespoon c
      1    vegetable oil, for deep 
           -frying

Instructions

PREPARE THE SAUCE:
Combine the vinegar and sugar in a small saucepan and bring the
mixture to a boil over moderate heat. Boil just until the sugar is
dissolved. Transfer the liquid to a small bowl. Add the garlic,
pepper, and fish sauce.  Set aside. MAKE THE FILLING:
Melt the butter in a skillet over moderate heat. Add the garlic
and onion and cook until the onion is translucent, about 2 minutes.
Add the celery, carrot and mushrooms, and saute until the vegetables
are soft but not browned, about 2 minutes.  Add the crabmeat, fish
sauce and black pepper and toss well.  Transfer the filling to a bowl
and cool completely. ASSEMBLE THE ROLLS:
Stack the spring roll wrappers.  Using a sharp knife or scissors,
cut the stacked wrappers in half along the diagonal. Work with one
triangle at a time, keeping the remaining wrappers covered with a
damp kitchen towel to prevent drying.
Place a triangle smooth side down on a work surface, with the
long edge nearest you.  Lightly brush the sheet with the flour paste.
Place 2 heaping teaspoons of the filling along the lower edge of the
wrapper, [then fold in points at the side over filling] and then roll
up from the bottom to enclose the filling. Place the roll seam side
down on a large plate and keep covered with a damp towel while you
fill and roll the remaining triangles.
Preheat the oven to 250F.  Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
COOK THE ROLLS:
Heat 2 inches of oil in a wok or deep heavy skillet to 350F.
Gently add the rolls in batches and cook, turning occasionally, until
golden brown, about 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a sieve
set over a large bowl to drain.  Transfer the rolls to the baking
sheet and keep warm in the oven while you cook the remaining rolls.
Serve the rolls with the dipping sauce. VARIATION: Crabmeat
Triangles: Cut each spring roll wrapper into 3 strips. Place 2
teaspoons of the filling on a bottom corner of each strip and fold up
and over flag-style to form triangles.  Brush the end with flour
paste before the last fold to seal.  Fry and serve with the sauce as
above.
If you prefer to bake rather than fry these treats, wrap up the
filling flag-style in strips of phyllo pastry to form triangles,
spray or brush with butter, and bake in a preheated 375F oven until
golden brown, about 15 to 20 minutes.  Serve the triangles on their
own, without sauce. *Cook's Notes:  When buying fish sauce, look for
the Squid or Tiparos brand. Once opened, fish sauce lasts up to a
year at room temperature. Fish sauce is available in Asian markets
and in some well-stocked supermarkets.
Cooked salmon, lobster meat, or chicken may be substituted for the
crabmeat.
For additional flavor and texture, wrap the fried rolls in tender
lettuce leaves, along with some sprigs of mint and coriander, before
dipping into the sauce. Yield: 20 rolls for hors d'oeuvres, or enough
for 4 to 6 appetizer servings. Source: Cooking Under Wraps

NOTES : Here's an idea from Jay Solomon's Lean Bean Cuisine. I revised it
to a 10-minute wok-fry and, used the Lighter Coconut milk. Red
beans and rice have such a nice "relationship" ;-)   We love these
creamy little Adzukis and mixed brown rice. This could deliver a
little more "wah-ha!" restaurant-style heat --- but we reduced the
fats. That did not stop us from eating.

  [Home]  Thai Curry Spice Paste  [Home]  




Title: Thai Curry Spice Paste
Yield: 1

Ingredients

      5 sm dried red chilies with their
           - seeds; crushed or
      1 ts cayenne pepper
      1 ts ground black pepper
      1 tb ground coriander
      1 ts ground caraway
    1/2    lemon's zest; minced
      1    2 inch piece ginger root; 
           -peeled and minced
      5 tb garlic; peeled and minced
      4    shallots; peeled and minced
      1 ts anchovy paste
      6    sprigs coriander; finely 
           -chopped
      1 ts salt
      3 tb vegetable oil

Instructions

Grind the whole spices and add any ground ones. Into a food processor, pour
the mixture and add the remaining ingredients (except for 1 tablespoon of
the
oil. Grind as fine as possible. Using a spatula, transfer the paste to a
jar
and pour in the last tablespoon of oil. Cap tightly and refrigerate until
needed. Keeps 2 months in the refrigerator. Makes approximately 8 ounces.

NOTES: Although substitutions for hard-to-find ingredients have been made,
this curry paste still carries the true flavor of Thailand. Use it in Thai
curries unless otherwise specified. A little added to stir-fry dishes or
rubbed into chicken as a marinade before barbecuing or grilling will add a
real Thai accent. A teaspoon added to a meatloaf mixture or meat balls,
transforms them into something that is rather exotic, and when combined
with
peanut butter and coconut milk, it makes a tangy and aromatic sauce for
Thai-style satays.

Use whole spices whenever possible. Anchovy fillets may be substituted for
the
anchovy paste. Shallots are preferable to onions; if not available, use an
equal amount of a red onion.

Title: Thai Deviled Fish
Yield: 1 Serving

Ingredients

      1    po firm fish fillet
      3 tb slivered lemon grass
    1/4 c  sliced onions
      1    satay brand thai jungle 
           -salsa; to taste)
      1    a few leaves fresh opal 
           -basil; (optional)

Instructions

Sautee onions in a skillet until soft.  Place them on the bottom of a
microwave
safe dish.  Lightly sear both sides of the fish (~1 minute /side) in the
same
skillet w/ a little oil or pam.  Place the lemon grass on top of the
onions.
Place the seared fish on the lemon grass/onion mixture.  Spread a few
tablespoons of the jungle salsa on top of the fish, more if you like it
real
hot.  Top with basil leaves.  Cover plate with plastic wrap, microwave on
high
for 6-8 minutes, turning once.  Fish should be flaky when done.  Serve
with
lots of white or brown rice.

Notes:  I got this recipe from a local Thai restaurant owner.  The Jungle
Salsa
is a very spicy blend of 6 or 8 different peppers, and is the key to the
recipe.  It should be available in most specialty stores.  If you have a
problem finding it, let me know and I will see if they do mail order.  Foo
recommends catfish, saying that it absorbs the spices best.

  [Home]  Thai Dinner For 10 (In 30 Minutes) Pt 2  [Home]  




Title: Thai Dinner For 10 (In 30 Minutes) Pt 2
Yield: 1

Ingredients

      1    see part 1

Instructions

raw shrimp (about 15 to the pound in size) are placed on the table (in
Thailand we don't bother cleaning them - you might want to remove the
heads,
legs and shells, and devein them), together with fresh mushrooms. The
guests
then cook these by placing them in small bronze-wire baskets and dipping
them
in the suki pot. If you are using fondue forks, you might want to add the
mushrooms to the soup liquor just before everyone starts to dine.

==========
Chicken Stew

It occasionally gets cold in Thailand (the temperature recently has been
below
30 at midday, and has even gone as low as 16 Celsius at night... :-)) and
this
dish is traditional in the Isan region

Note if done with beef, the meat is simmered slowly, for several hours.
Quite
unusual in Thai food. However chicken cooks quite quickly and is tender.
Remember my slogan: you cook it until it is cooked!"

Take the meat from a medium chicken, and cut it into bite sized chunks.

Place it in a large stewpan, and add:-

- a piece of cinnamon, - about a tablespoon of grated galangal, - the
chopped
roots of three coriander plants, - about half a cup of fish sauce, - 2
tablespoons of dark sweet soy, - a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce - a
cup
of chopped celery (preferably Chinese celery) - about two cups of chopped
veggies (cabbage, kale, ...) - 2 - 3 tablespoons of fried garlic

Cover with water, and simmer until the meat is cooked. Stir in some rice
flour
or corn starch to thicken the sauce.

  [Home]  Thai Dinner For 10 (In 30 Minutes)  [Home]  




Title: Thai Dinner For 10 (In 30 Minutes)
Yield: 1

Ingredients

  ------------------------------NONE------------------------------------

Instructions

This was still ticking in my mind waiting to prompt an idea for a posting
of a
recipe, when two of my wife's sisters "dropped in" with their husband's and
children, so completely unexpectedly we had 6 adults and 5 children ranging
from 3 to 12 years old to feed. Unlike Chef Caprial we don't have a
multi-ring
cooking hob and a double oven, but nonetheless we forgot the simple meal
we'd
intended to have that evening and put plan B into effect. The menu would be

- steamed rice - muoi's salad talay (a seafood salad) - tom yum koong suki
(that is to say a tom yum shrimp soup cooked in a suki pot) - chicken stew
(well it has a Thai name and is quite traditional, but this makes more
sense.)
- yum moo ( a spicy pork dish) - pad nuea nam man hoy: spicy stir fried
beef

Now I've posted a yum nuea (beef) version of the yum dish - but this
variation
was made in a hurry, and is different. Also I've dealt with a tom yum
before,
but this version is essentially done as a tabletop quickie. A suki pot is
the
Thai version of the device I've seen referred to in America as a Mongolian
Hot
Pot or fire pot: a copper vessel with a central chimney that can be heated
on
the table top. Traditional Thai pots use charcoal, but modern ones use
solid
fuel or gas (ours is a butane model).

The last three dishes can all be made with beef, but together they should
each
be made around a different meat for contrast. The stew is relatively bland,
by
Thai standards, the yum is hot, the stir fried beef in oyster sauce is
spicy,
rather than hot.

The salad is only a traditional Thai dish in the sense that it is my wife's
invention, and she's Thai :-)

This meal took 30 minutes from start to finish to prepare: however the
veggies
were all ready cleaned and ready to use. We took the meat out of the
freezer
when the guests arrived and used a microwave to make sure they were
defrosted.

==========
Rice

OK: I'm not really going to tell you how to steam rice: 10 cups of washed
Thai
Jasmine rice was placed in an automatic rice steamer with the appropriate

Muoi's salad talay

('talay' means seafood, and salad is the Thai word for, well, salad,
actually
:-)

You need two cups of mixed salad veggies, to which you add a cup of fresh
bean
sprouts, and a cup of chopped onion (we use scallions/green onions, but
whatever takes your fancy).

Steam enough clams, mussels and other shellfish to yield 2 cups of cooked
fish.

2 cups of parboiled potato. (Using Thai sweet potatoes, I split two large
potatoes in half lengthwise, and place them in the microwave for 5 minutes
on
high, then peel them. The surface of the potato exposed to the air turns
white, and is cut off and discarded. The potato is then cut into bite sized
chunks). The potato is then deep fried in an electric fryer for a couple of
minutes (Thai potato floats when it is cooked, and you scoop it out and
place
it on paper towels to drain the oil).

Toss the veggies, potato and the shellfish together in a salad bowl and
salt
and pepper to taste.

The dressing consists of one cup of mayonnaise, half a cup of tomato
ketchup,
two table spoons of oyster sauce, one tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce
and
two tablespoons of hot Thai Chile Sauce. If you can't get the Thai chile
sauce
you could use Tobasco, but it isn't as hot, and is somewhat more salty, so
be
careful). You then add enough of the dressing to the salad to coat it
thoroughly when tossed. The remaining dressing is placed on the table as a
dipping sauce, together with a few plates of raw sliced veggies (cucumbers,
carrots, etc...)

==========
Tom Yum Koong

Place about a litter (or a quart) of fish stock in the hot pot (if you
haven't
got one, you could use a small "deep fryer" or a fondue pot as a
replacement).

Bring it to a boil and add:-

2 stalks of lemon grass, bruised (this isn't eaten, but is an essential
flavorant)

2-3 "kaffir" lime leaves (use lime zest if you can't get it) 2 coriander
[cilantro] plants, chopped. 1 tablespoon fresh ground ginger ground chili
powder (prok phom) to taste 4 tablespoons red chilies in vinegar (prik
dong) 4
tablespoons green chilies in fish sauce (prik nam pla) the juice of 3 or 4
limes 2 or 3 tablespoons of sliced bamboo shoots or coconut shoots 2-3
tablespoons "chilies in oil" (prik nam pao)

      1    breadcrumbs
      1    some sesame and vegetable 
           -oil for f; rying
  
  ------------------------FOR THE DRESSING------------------------------
      1 tb soya sauce
      1 tb sesame oil
      1    a pinch of sugar
      1    a pinch of salt and pepper
      1    a pinch of ginger
      1 tb lime juice and zest
  
  --------------------------FOR THE SALAD-------------------------------
      1    bok choy
      1    whole chinese lettuce
      1    fennel
      1    handful beansprouts
      1    few spring onions
      1    few coriander leaves
  
  ----------------------------TO FINISH---------------------------------
      1    vinegar
      1    white wine

Instructions

Mix in a blender the coriander, grated ginger, garlic, red chillies and
coconut cream. Blend until mixed and finely chopped.

Take the cod and ask your fishmonger to skin and pin it for you and add
this to your mixture. Next add you chilli paste, as much as you want to
taste and blend for 30 seconds.

Once blended put into a large bowl and add the lime juice and rind, salt,
pepper, sugar and finely chopped red onion. Finally, add the breadcrumbs
gradually while mixing until it becomes more sticky than wet. Pop into
the fridge for 20 minutes.

Remove the mixture from the fridge and roll a small handful between the
palms of your hand to make a ball then slowly pat it out, you must try not
to crack the edges. You will need 3 fishcakes per person.

Put about 1/4 of an inch of sesame oil and half vegetable oil in a frying
pan and put on half heat. Shallow fry your fishcakes all the while moving
the pan to prevent them sticking to the bottom. Fry for 15 minutes.

Next make your salad dressing. Simply whisk all the ingredients together
and leave aside.

For the Oriental Salad Take a whole Chinese lettuce and shred finely.
With your Bok Choi you should only cut away the stalks and add whole to
your salad. Take your fennel, peel it, cut it into quarters, remove the
stalk in the centre and slice vertically into fine shavings. Add a
handful of washed beansprouts. Take a handful of spring onions, cut the
green tops off, tail them as well and finely slice. Finally mix together
and add a few coriander leaves.

Finally cover the plate with your salad, drizzle 2 tbsp of your dressing
over this and arrange your three fishcakes in the centre of the plate.
For the finishing touch make a dressing of half vinegar and half white
wine, drizzle a few tbsp's onto your fishcakes and garnish with a sprig of
coriander.

Cut the fruit into bite-sized pieces.  If using pomelo, peel the
individual sections and break them apart into grains about the size
of a grape seed. Toss apple or pear slices in a little citrus juice
to keep them from oxidizing.

Using a small skillet or saucepan, heat the oil over low heat and
gently fry the shallot and garlic in it until lightly browned. Remove

use.

Combine the lime juice, salt and sugar (if used) in a medium bowl and

shallot: toss to coat evenly with dressing. Taste for seasoning and
adjust if necessary. Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with the

  [Home]  Thai Garlic Chicken (Kai Yang)  [Home]  




Title: Thai Garlic Chicken (Kai Yang)
Yield: 1 Recipe

Ingredients

      1    no ingredients

Instructions

1    roasting; (3-pound) chicken
-or 6 chicken breast halves
6    cloves garlic
2 ts salt
2 tb black peppercorns
4    whole plants fresh
-coriander; (cilantro),
-including roots
2 tb fresh lemon juice

This may sound like a lot of garlic and pepper, but the end result is
delicious. The coarsely crushed peppercorns are not as hot as the same
amount of finely ground pepper.

Cut whole chicken into serving pieces. Crush the garlic with the salt to
make a paste. Coarsely crush peppercorns with spice grinder or mortar and
pestle. Finely chop the well-washed coriander, roots, stems and leaves.
Combine the garlic, salt, pepper coriander and lemon juice together and rub
mixture into the chicken pieces. Place in a sealable plastic bag and let
stand for at least 1 hour at room temperature or in the refrigerator
overnight.

Preheat broiler to high. Broil 6-inches from heat source and cook, turning
chicken every 5 minutes, until chicken juices run clear and skin is crisp
or
cook over glowing coals on a barbecue grill.

  [Home]  Thai Garlic Prawns  [Home]  




Title: Thai Garlic Prawns
Yield: 4 Servings

Ingredients

      1    stephen ceideburg
      8    cloves garlic, crushed
      2 tb minced corriander root
      2 tb fish sauce
  1 1/2 tb brown sugar
    1/2 ts sugar
  1 1/4 lb cleaned prawns
      1    oil for frying

Instructions

Spanish garlic prawns are yesterday's fashion, but are still so
enjoyable that most of us are prepared to eat them and to hell with
friends and colleagues next day. Perhaps the vast quantity of
coriander root in this Thai version has magical properties because
the after-math doesn't seem to be severe.

Prepare a marinade by mixing together 8 crushed cloves of garlic, 2
tablespoons washed and minced coriander root, 2 table- spoons fish
sauce, 1.5 tablespoons brown sugar and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Add 500 g
of shelled and cleaned prawns and leave to marinate for 15-30 minutes.

Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a frying pan, add the prawns and their
marinade and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes or just until the prawns are
pink. Stir in the juice of a lemon and serve immediately with rice
and sliced tomatoes and cucumber.

Title: Thai Glass Noodles (Yam Woon Sen)
Yield: 4

Ingredients

      2 oz dried mung bean noodle
      1    whole chicken breast; boned,
           - skinned, chop
      1    salt and pepper to taste
      1    fresh red or green chile; 
           -chopped
      3 tb lime juice
      2 tb nam pla; (thai fish sauce)
      1 ts sugar
      3    shallots; peeled, thinly
    1/2 c  fresh coriander leaves
      6 oz cooked bay shrimp
      1    shredded lettuce

Instructions

This recipe comes from the Oriental Hotel in Bangkok, location of the Thai
Cooking School. It has been adapted for the American cook. With this recipe
it's necessary to use mung bean glass noodles rather than those based on
rice
flour. Check the ingredients on the package when buying.

Put mung bean noodles in a bowl and pour in lukewarm water to cover. Let
soak
until soft and pliable (about 15 minutes). Drain. Add noodles to a large
pot
of boiling water. Reduce to medium heat; cook until noodles are plump and
glass like (3 to 5 minutes). Drain in a colander; rinse with cold water;
drain
again. Cut into 3 or 4 inch lengths.

Chill.

Pour oil into a hot wok or skillet. Add chicken; saut‚ until it loses it's
pink color. Break into small morsels. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Cool.

Mix together chile, lime juice, nam pla, sugar, shallots and coriander;
pour
over noodles and mix thoroughly. Add chicken, shrimp and chilled noodles;
mix
well.

Serve on a bed of shredded lettuce. Garnish with the optional crisp fried
shallots.

Serves 4 to 6.

NOTE: Crisp fried shallots are available in Asian grocery stores.

San Francisco Chronicle, 8/29/90.

As far as the crisp fried shallots go, they're easy to make. Just fry some
sliced shallots in a little oil until they're browned and crisp. I wouldn't
hesitate to substitute dried onion flakes fried in the same way... I add
them
to a lot of Thai soups for an extra flavor accent.

      2 tb lime (or lemon), juice
      2 tb dark soya sauce
    1/2 c  flaked almonds, lightly 
           -toasted

Instructions

Bring a large pot of water to the boil and have ready a sink full
of icey-cold water. Plunge the shredded cabbage into the boiling
water for one minute then scoop it out and into the cold water.

Drain and dry the cabbage and arrange it and the other vegetables
in sections or concentric rings for maximum decorative value on a
large serving dish. Fill the centre of the arrangement with chicken
and ham. Decorate the dish with bright red chilli "flowers"
(optional). Pass the dressing separately.

hot chillies lengthwise from near where the stem attaches and then
tossing the slit chillies into a bowl of ice water and ice cubes. The
"petals" will curl back and make an attractive garnish. Make about
eight slits. S.C.]

           -granulate
      1 ts Prikthai (black pepper),  
           -freshly g

Instructions

Just the thing if you're in a hurry: and a tasty party food, or between
meal snack as well.

Method

Clean the mussels, carefully removing the beards.

In a wok or skillet over medium heat, saute the shallots and garlic until
aromatic.

Add the mussels, stir fry on high heat for 1 minute, add the remaining
ingredients (except the beans and bean sprouts) and cover the pan, reducing
the heat to medium, for a further 5 minutes. Shake the pan occasionally to
move the mussels around and ensure even cooking.

Check the cookig: discard any unopened mussels.

If you want a substantial meal, add the beans and stir fry until heated
through, then remove from the heat and add the bean sprouts, stirring
briefly, then transfer to the serving platter.

Serving & Storage

For a light snack, the mussels are eaten alone, using a convenient half
shell as a spoon/knife. For a more substantial meal, the mussels are
transferred to a platter, and the beans, bean shoots etc to another, then
the veggies can be eaten with rice or noodles, accompanying the mussels.

In many cases the mussels are eaten with the fingers, as this makes it
easier to dip them in the chosen, and usually fierily hot, dipping sauce,
such as nam prik kapi, nam prik kiga, or nam prik narok. "Col. I.F.

Title: Thai Iced Coffee
Yield: 0 Servings

Ingredients

     50 ml strong French roasted coffee
    100 ml boiling water
      2 ts sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

1.  Mix together all the ingredients and pour over ice.

Author's Notes:
I'd probably use less water and more coffee and milk. (But then I prefer
Vietnamese coffee). Jane Bagley-McMaster (jane@sequoia.execu.com) writes:
The french coffee served at the Vietnamese restaurants here in Austin make
it with condensed milk, very strong coffee, and the ice. It is brought to
the table in small glasses with the condensed milk in the bottom and a
small drip coffee maker atop that. Once the coffee has completely dripped
down you stir it up and pour it in a glass of ice. The one place where I
have had Thai coffee brought to the table it was already mixed but it had
the same flavor.

Difficulty    : very easy.
Precision     : approximate measurements.

Title: [Thai] Kai Pad Khiaowan (Chicken Stir-Fried With Green Curry
Yield: 4 Servings

Ingredients

      2 c  Chicken,  sliced thinly
      1 c  Bai manglaek  (sweet basil 
           -leaves)
      4 tb Hua kathi  (coconut milk)
      3 tb Nam prik khiaowan  (green 
           -curry pas
      3 tb Nam tan paep  (palm sugar)
      3 tb Nam pla (fish sauce)
      3 tb Prik ki nu  (green birdseye 
           -chilis)

Instructions

Not all curries are of the "stew-variety" as this recipe proves. This is an
example of the popular "fried curry" style, that produces a dry result,
which blends equally well with rice or noodles.

(chicken stir-fried with green curry paste) Method

In a wok or skillet, over medium heat, warm the coconut milk and add the
curry paste, stirring briskly until it becomes aromatic. Discard any oil
film that forms on the surface.

Add the chicken and stir fry until it just begins to change color.

Add the remaining ingredients, except the basil, and continue to stir fry
until the chicken ia almost cooked through. Finally add half the basil and
stir briefly then transfer to a serving platter.

Dip half the basil in nam jim wan (sweet dipping sauce), and then fry it in
hot oil until crispy, then use to garnish the curry.

Serving & Storage Serve with either rice or noodles."Col. I.F.

Title: [Thai]Kai Pad Prik Haeng (Chicken With Chili & Nuts)
Yield: 6 Servings

Ingredients

      1 c  Chicken meat, finely sliced
    1/2 c  Tua fak yao (long beans),  
           -cut into
    1/4 c  Prik haeng (dried red
           - chilies); crumbled
    1/4 c  peanuts
    1/4 c  Nam sup (stock)
      1 tb Kratiem (garlic),  thinly 
           -sliced
      1 tb Nam pla (fish sauce)
      1 tb Si-iew khao (light soy)
      1 tb Si-iew dhum (dark soy)
    1/4 tb Nam tan paep (palm sugar)

Instructions

One of the cookbooks I cross checked this recipe with described it as
"chili hot," which seems a fair description, though their version was a
little milder than this one.  As always remember that you can reduce the
chili if you wish.

This dish offers an excellent example of texture, contrast with the crunchy
nuts and the softer meat. Method:

Place a wok or skillet on medium heat and carefully toast the uncooked
peanuts until they begin to turn golden, and are just cooked through (test
by biting one). In a mortar and pestle or food processor, briefly pound the
peanuts to produce a broken consistency (not peanut butter!).

Heat the wok or skillet over high heat, and add a little peanut oil, and
when it is hot, saute the garlic until it is golden brown and slightly
crispy, then remove it and drain on a kitchen towel.

Saute the chilies briefly, then add the chicken and continue stirring until
it begins to change color.  Working quickly add the remaining ingredients
in turn, stirring to mix, adding the soy sauces and fish sauce, then
finally the stock after the dry ingredients, as this will cool the mixture
to allow the cooking to finish.  Return the garlic to the pan, and cover,
leaving for about a minute to complete cooking.  Check that the meat is
cooked, and taste for seasoning balance.

Serving & Storage:

Serve with white steamed rice, and the usual table condiments. Colonel I.

Title: [Thai] Kai Tam (Simple Chicken Soup)

Ingredients

      4 c  Stock
      1 c  Sapparot (pineapple),  cut 
           -into chu

      1 tb Prik ki nu daeng haeng  
           -(dried red
      1 tb Kratiem (garlic), crushed

Instructions

This is the chicken soup my wife calls "mothers all-purpose sickness cure"
~ I guess mothers the world over are the same, and figure that sending a
sick child to bed with a bowl of chicken soup cures most things - well at
least it cures "plumbum pendulensis academica" (being sick of school).

It is made with a small chicken. Alternatively you could make it from a
couple of chicken legs and a couple of drumsticks.

(simple chicken soup) Method

Prepare the chicken: wash it carefully, then cut off the drumsticks and the
wings, and then with a sharp knife cut down either side of the centre line,
and remove the two breasts. The wings are reserved for other dishes, and
the bones are set aside to make more stock later.

Bring the stock to a boil and add everything except the chicken, and
simmer, covered, for about 10 minutes.

Add the chicken breasts and legs, bring the mixture back to the boil, then
remove from the heat, and allow to stand, covered, for 30 minutes.

Serving & Storage

Remove the chicken and place it on a serving platter. Put the soup in a
tureen and serve with a selection of dipping sauces, (and with white rice
if more sustenance is required). Garnish the soup with coriander leaves.

Title: [Thai] Khaifu Sai Ahahn Farang Paeng (Omelettes)
Yield: 1 Servings

Ingredients

      1    no ingredients

Instructions

1 Tin  Spam 1 Tin Corned beef
1 T  Fish sauce
1 T  Sweet soy 1 T Prik phom (powdered red chili)
1 T  Garlic
1 T  Ginger
1 T  Shallots
1 T  Red prik chi fa (jalapenas)
1 T  Green prik chi fa

For the omelettes:
3    Duck eggs
3 t  Fish sauce

Take a medium tin of corned beef and break it up with a fork. Take a
similar sized tin of Spam, and cut it into small dice.  Combine. This
should give you about a cup of meat. Add 1 tablespoon of fish sauce, and 1
tablespoon of dark sweet soy, and stir in 1 tablespoon of prik phom (ground
red chilies). Leave to marinade for about an hour.

Beat 3 duck eggs, with three teaspoons of fish sauce. Now in a wok saute 1
tablespoon of garlic, 1 tablespoon of ground ginger, and 1 tablespoon of
shallots (purple onions).

Add the marinated meat, and stir fry until the meat begins to turn brown.
Add 1 tablespoon of chopped red and 1 tablespoon of chopped green prik chi
fa (Thai jalapenos)

Stir the meat mix, to amalgamate the ingredients and if desired, add
freshly cracked black pepper to taste.

In a 10-inch omelette pan, fry half the egg mix.  When it is set on the pan
side, spoon half the meat mix neatly into the center in a rectangular
shape, and fold the edges of the omelette over the meat to form a parcel.
Flip it over and fry until sealed and the egg is cooked through. Similarly
cook the other half of the mixture.

Cut each omelette in two, and serve with other snack foods (such as pad
Thai, pad mi Korat, som tam).

Note: I assume that that the powdered red chili is powdered dried chili
peppers rather than US-style chili powder.

aunt. The "white radish" in question, known in Thai as phak ka hua or
sometimes as hua chai thao, is also known as mooli, or Chinese Radish, and
resembles nothing quite so much as an albino carrot!
The resultant snacklets can be eaten on their own, or used as a base for
prawn or pork 'spread' and fried to form a canope served with prik nam som
or other Thai dipping sauce.

Title: [Thai] Khao Tam Kung (Prawn And Rice Soup)
Yield: 4 Servings

Ingredients

      2 c  nam sup (stock)
      1 c  Shrimp (about 10  to the 
           -pound size
      1 c  Cooked rice
    1/2 c  Kheun chai (chinese  celery 
           -- celer
      2 tb Nam pla (fish sauce)
      1 tb Kratiem (garlic),  crushed
      1 ts Si-iew khao (light  soy

           -freshly g
           Bai chi (coriander/  
           -cilantro leave

Instructions

This is the answer to the question "if Thais eat so much hot and spicy
food, what do they eat for breakfast?" (But they also eat som tam and
curries.)

Khao tam is a fairly bland and innocuous soup, that is always considered a
meal in itself (never served with other foods).  While it can be made with
almost any meat, it is most commonly made with seafood combinations or just
plain khao tam.

Method:

Saute the garlic and reserve as a garnish.

In a saucepan, boil the stock, add the celery, soy sauce, pepper and rice,
and bring back to a boil.

Add the shrimp and cook until it turns pink.

Serve immediately, garnished with the sauteed garlic and coriander leaves.

Title: Thai Long Rice Salad
Yield: 1

Ingredients

      3 c  long rice - raw
  
  ------------------------THREE CUPS TOTAL------------------------------
      1    finely shredded napa cabbage
      1    grated carrots
      1    slivered chinese pea pods
      1    chopped cilantro
      1    slivered jalapeno peppers
      1    fresh mint - chiffonade
      1    fresh basil - chiffonade
      1    bean sprouts
      1    red bell pepper; slivered
  
  ----------------------------DRESSING----------------------------------
      3 tb japanese rice wine vinegar
      1 tb thai hot and sour soup paste
      1    salt to taste
      1    chicken flavored seasoning

Instructions

Break rice off while still inside the package. It tends to get all over the
kitchen otherwise.

Boil a pot of water, as for spaghetti. While it's coming to a boil, start
shredding the veggies. When water boils, turn off the heat and throw in the
long rice to soak. By the time you are done with the veggies, the long rice
will have soaked long enough. Drain the long rice in a seive and then rinse
it
to cool. Drain well, pressing out all the water. Turn it onto the chopping
board, and cut it in a few places to shorten the strands to about two
inches.
In a large salad bowl, combine the dressing ingredients, then throw in the
long rice and toss to coat. Add the slivered veggies and toss salad well.
This
can stay in the fridge for a few days with no ill effects.

Yield: 0 Servings

Ingredients

      3    Tbls masaman curry paste
     30 ml vegetable oil
    900 g  lean beef
      1 cn coconut milk
    110 ml milk
      2    potatoes
      3 md carrots
      1    onion
      2    Tbls cocktail peanuts
     15 ml lemon juice
           fish sauce
           sugar

Instructions

1.  Cut the beef into 3 cm square pieces.

2.  In a casserole pot, at low heat, stir the curry paste in the oil for
about 3-4 minutes. Add 50 ml of coconut milk.

3.  Add the beef and stir for 5 min, then pour in the rest of the coconut
milk and milk. When it comes to boil, lower the heat and let it simmer for
~25 min., occasionally stirring.

4.  Cut the potatoes, onion and carrots into chunks, and add them along
with the peanuts to the curry when the beef is stewed for 25 min.

5.  When the potatoes and carrots are cooked, add lemon juice, some
fishsauce, and a little bit of sugar. Fix it to taste and serve. There
should be a thin film of red oil floating on top of the curry.

Author's Notes:
I thought there might be some people who are interested in this recipe.
Different people use different methods, but there's not that much
difference. So, this is how I cook the curry (brown with reddish oil).

Try this one and see how it turns out. This recipe has not been measured
precisely, but close enough; I just play it by ear when I cook.

Difficulty    : moderate.
Precision     : measure ingredients.

      5 oz lime juice
      1 oz thai fish sauce (nam pla)

Instructions

* I assume she means "makrut" or Thai lime leaves. S.C.

This recipe, from the City Restaurant and Border Grill in Los Angeles,
presents melons in a sweet and savory context. In order to have a
contrast of colors and flavors, use portions of several melons. The
recipe calls for approximately 2 pounds of prepared melon about half
a pound per person. The specialty items may be found in Thai grocery
stores.

Cut the melons into small dice or thin ribbons. Arrange on a platter.

Place the chiles, lime juice, fish sauce, palm sugar, pea- nuts, dried
shrimp, crushed lime leaves and garlic puree in a blender; blend until
thoroughly mixed. Pour over the salad and garnish with cilantro
leaves.

           -teaspoon lime
      1 ts Nam tan paep (palm sugar)

Instructions

This is perhaps one for the adventurous - or the outdoor chef? - for not
only is the meal cooked in very hot oil, but it is deliberately flamed at
the end! Because of this I recomend you use a wok, not a skillet, at least
16 inches in diameter and 6 inches deep, or a saut‚ pan, at least 16" in
diameter and 4" deep.

maekhong is the generic name for Thai whiskeys derived from rice liquour.
It is also the name of one of the popular (and relatively cheap) brands.
However if you prefer, or simply can't get Thai whiskey, you can use any
whiskey, whisky, brandy or rum you choose!

Method

Place a wok over very high heat and stir fry the ingredients quickly,
stirring or shaking the wok vigorously to prevent the meat burning.

Add 1 cup of warmed maekhong (rice whikey) to the wok and tip it to cause
it to ignite. After about 30 seconds if it is still burning place the lid
on the wok to kill the flames.

Serving & Storage

Serve with the usual table condiments and white rice.

On a cold night the best "wine" to go with this is whiskey (good sippin'
whiskey), warmed in the style of sake. On a hot summer hight, accompany it
with a robust, and well chilled beer, such as Singha or Beer Chang (a Thai
product of the Carlsberg breweries that is 9% by volume alcohol!) "Col.

      2 tb Nam pla
    1/2 ts Arrowroot powder
    1/2 ts Prikthai (freshly  ground 
           -black pep

Instructions

In essence this is a Thai version of the popular western dish "pepper
steak", but prepared in a typically Thai way.

If you can't get the Thai sweet chilis (prik yuet) then substitute bell
peppers. If you can't find Maggi seasoning sauce, use mushroom soy or dark
soy.

Method

Cut the steak diagonally across the grain into thin strips (this may be
easier if you chill the steak in the freezer first). Mix the marinade
ingredients and combine with the steak, and leave for about an hour.

In a wok or skillet over medium high heat, combine the sesame oil with two
tablespoons of peanut oil and then stir fry the garlic and peppercorns
until the whole is aromatic and the garlic turns slightly crisp.

Add the beef, onions and sweet chilis, and stir fry for 2-3 minutes (until
the beef begins to show signs of being cooked). Add the remaining
ingredients, and increase the heat to high and stir fry until the beef is
cooked to your taste.

Serve over steamed white rice, and if desired garnish with a fried egg.

           --or- ca
      4    green onions
    1/2 c  vegetable oil
      1 ts finely chopped garlic
      2    eggs
    3/4 lb bean sprouts
      2 tb ground roasted chilies
    3/4 c  ground roasted peanuts - 
           -(unsalted)
      1    lime wedges

Instructions

1.  Soak the noodles for 20-25 minutes in enough warm water to cover
them. They should be flexible and soft, but not so soft that they can
be mashed easily with the fingers. Later cooking in liquid will
soften them more. Drain them thoroughly in a colander while preparing
the other ingredients. Traditionally they are left in full-length
strands, but you may cut them into 8-inch lengths if you find it
easier to stir-fry them that way.

2.  Peel and devein the shrimp, leaving the tails intact, or slice the
chicken or pork across the grain into strips not more than 1/8 inch
thick and 1 to 2 inches long.

3.  Mix the fish sauce, sugar, vinegar, and optional paprika, tomato
paste, or catsup in a bowl, and stir until the sugar is dissolved.
Set the mixture aside. Slice the green onions, both white and green
parts, diagonally into pieces 1 1/2 inches long and 1/4 inch thick.
Set aside.

4.  Heat a wok, add the oil, and swirl it over the surface of the
pan. Add the garlic and stir-fry until light golden. Add the meat and
stir-fry until the pink color disappears completely. If you are using
shrimp, stir-fry until they turn pink.  Add the noodles and toss
lightly to coat them with oil and to distribute the meat and garlic.

5.  Add the liquid from Step 3 and bring it to a boil rapidly, gently
folding the noodles without breaking them. Reduce the heat to medium
and boil the mixture, folding frequently, until the noodles have
absorbed the liquid.

6.  Using a wok scoop or a stiff spatula, lift the noodles gently
from one side of the wok.  Pour a little oil along the side of the
wok, then break 1 egg and slip it into the oil. Break the yolk, and
cover the egg with the noodles immediately.  Repeat this on the
opposite side of the wok with the remaining egg. Allow the eggs to
cook undisturbed, over moderate heat, until they are set and almost
dry. Additional oil may be added if the eggs or the noodles begin to
stick to the wok.

7.  When the eggs are set and almost dry, fold them gently but
rapidly into the noodles.  Try not to break the noodles, which will
be soft and fragile at this point. An effective way is to insert the
scoop under the eggs, lift it through, and fold the mixture over.
Continue the lifting and folding motion until the eggs are broken up
and well distributed.

8.  Add the bean sprouts and sliced green onions and toss the entire
mixture quickly and gently, still avoiding breaking the noodles. Cook
for about 2 minutes, or until the bean sprouts and green onions are
crisp-tender.

9.  Place the mixture on a large warm platter. Sprinkle the ground
chilies and peanuts over the top and squeeze lime juice over that, or
serve these garnishes separately, for each diner to add according to
taste.

Variation: ========== Omit the shrimp, pork, or chicken from the list
of ingredients, and ignore any instructions for them. Substitute 1/2
pound tofu and 1/4 pound dried shrimp. Put the tofu on a triple layer
of paper towels, cover it with another triple layer, put a plate on
top of that, and put a 2-pound weight, e.g. a can of tomatoes, on top
of the plate. Let stand for 20 to 30 minutes to press out the excess
water. Put the dried shrimp in a sieve, rinse them quickly under hot
running water, and set them aside to drain. After the tofu has been
pressed, slice it into 1/4-inch cubes.  Add the tofu and shrimp in
Step 5 of the instructions and proceed with the main recipe. Note: in
Thailand, dried shrimp are available in a smaller size than is
generally available in the United States. If you would like to
simulate that, chop the dried shrimp very coarsely after they have
been rinsed.

      2 tb soy sauce

      2 tb minced fresh cilantro
      2    eggs; beaten
    1/4 c  chopped peanuts; for garnish
      1    cilantro sprigs; for garnish

Instructions

Makes 4 servings.

An exotic dish, but one that is easily created in your own kitchen. It is
high
in protein, low in fat and rich in both flavor and nutrition.

Combine the lime juice, soy sauce, sugar and molasses in a small bowl and
set
aside.

Steam the broccoli over boiling water 2 minutes. Add bell pepper and steam
2
to 3 minutes, until vegetables are crisp-tender. Run under cold water until
cooled and set aside.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the spaghetti 7 to 8 minutes,
or
just until barely tender. Drain and set aside.

Meanwhile, heat the oil in a nonstick Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the
gingerroot, garlic and chile and cook, stirring frequently, about 1 minute.
Add broccoli, bell pepper, peas, green onions and cilantro and stir until
heated through. Transfer the broccoli mixture to a large bowl and cover
with
foil to keep warm.

Pour the beaten eggs into the Dutch oven over medium heat, and as they
begin
to cook, add cooked spaghetti and lime juice mixture. Using two forks, toss
the mixture until the liquid is absorbed. Add broccoli mixture and toss
until
thoroughly mixed. Serve on a warmed platter or individual plates. Garnish
with
peanuts and cilantro sprigs.

Education:

Raw eggs carry the risk of salmonella, a food poisoning that can be serious
for the very young, the elderly or anyone with a compromised immune system.
In
the recipe above, the eggs are completely cooked as the pasta is tossed in
the
pan over heat. Be careful with egg dishes that do not result in hard
cooking
of both whites and yolks.

Title: Thai Noodles With Seafood
Yield: 3

Ingredients

      2 lb mixed seafood
    1/4 c  basil leaves
      3    bird's eye chiles; chopped
      2 tb garlic; minced
      2 tb oil for frying
      1 tb fish sauce
      2 tb soy sauce; lite

Instructions

This recipe is very simple, very fast and very good. The fresh rice
noodles,
thick and white, can be found in the refrigerator cabinet of any good Asian
grocery store. Don't use frounceen marinara mix++the recipe deserves
better.
Any decent fishmonger will be happy to serve you with half a dounceen
prawns,
a few scallops, some squid, a small fillet of fish, a handful of mussels or
any other combination that appeals to you.

Cut the mixed seafood into bite-size pieces, first removing any shells. If
you
are using mussels, wash and scrape the shells and open them by putting them
in
a pot with a little boiling water. Cover and boil for a few minutes,
removing
each mussel as it opens to prevent overcooking.

Chop a handful of basil leaves and seed and finely slice 3 bird's eye
chillies.

In a frying pan or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of oil. Brown 2 tablespoons of
crushed garlic and saut‚ the seafood for a couple of minutes. Drain off the
oil and set the garlic seafood mixture aside.

Put another tablespoon of oil in the pan and increase the heat. Add 2
tablespoons of light soya sauce and the noodles and saut‚ for 2-3 minutes.
Tip
the seafood back into the pan and add 3 tablespoons of fish sauce. Stir
well.
Add the basil leaves and chillies and cook for 1 minute more, stirring.
Serve,

stir in coconut milk, milk, cinnamon, bay leaves, tamarind sauce, fish
sauce,
brown sugar, lemon juice and peanut butter. Mix ingredients well, reduce
heat
and cook, stirring frequently, until sauce thickens. This takes about 30
minutes. Remove bay and lime leaves and serve. Do not let sauce stick and
burn
to bottom of pan.

I like to blender the onion and garlic so the sauce is smooth in texture.
You
can also mince if you like chunks in your sauce.

  [Home]  Thai Phraram Long Song (Meat In Peanut Sauce)  [Home]  




Title: Thai Phraram Long Song (Meat In Peanut Sauce)
Yield: 1

Ingredients

      1 c  pork; cut into small bite
      1    ; sized pieces
      1 c  phak bung; (swamp cabbage),
      1    ; shredded*
  
  --------------------------FOR THE SAUCE-------------------------------
      1 tb garlic; very finely chopped
      1 tb massaman curry paste
      1 c  coconut milk
      1 c  pork stock
      1 tb sugar
      1 pn salt
      1 tb lime juice
    1/2 c  raw peanuts; crushed

Instructions

*Note that phak bung is very common - almost a weed - in Thailand. In the
West
where it is probably unobtainable, use spinach or kale.

To flavor the oil:

Garlic, ginger, prik ki nu daeng (red birdseye chilies), and phom kari
(mild
curry powder). According to the method. If Thai curry powder isn't
available,
use a mild Indian curry.

There are a number of possible translations of the title of this dish,
which
is from the milder "Royal Thai" tradition. Phraram is the name given in
Thai
to the God Rama, or the title of the King. The title can be translated by
those of a poetic nature to mean food so good it makes the king cry.

Because this is a mild, Royal Thai, dish, I give two methods, which differ
slightly in that one is mild and has complex flavors, the other is more in
line with the country tradition of not throwing away anything that can be
eaten, and is a little more potent, as suits the provincial palate.

This dish can be made with pork, beef, chicken or shrimp. Shrimp require
less
cooking and beef rather more. This version is made with pork

Heat a wok, and add three tablespoons of peanut oil, add one teaspoon of
slivered garlic, and saute until the garlic is just changing color. Remove
and
discard the garlic. Add 4 'coins' of ginger, 1" in diameter, an eighth of
an
inch thick, and saute for 1 minute, remove and discard. Take 4 red chilies
and
destalk them, cut them in half and tap them on the counter to remove loose
seeds, saute for 1 minute, remove and discard. Now add 1 teaspoon of curry
powder and stir until absorbed into the flavored oil.

For the provincial version, to the hot oil add 1 tablespoon of slivered
garlic, 1 tablespoon of slivered ginger, and 1 tablespoon of very thinly
sliced chilies, including the seeds, then remove the flavoring, add 1
tablespoon of curry powder, and blend into the oil. The garlic, ginger, and
chili is then blended to a fine paste and retained to be added later.

Now stir fry the meat for about 1 minute, and remove it from the oil while
you
prepare the sauce.

Fry the peanuts for about 5 minutes in the oil, then remove them and blend
them to a fine paste, and return the paste to the oil, adding the curry
paste
and stirring until aromatic (if you can't find curry paste use a further
tablespoon of curry powder), now slowly add the coconut milk, stirring
constantly to blend, and then add the remaining sauce ingredients, then
bring
to a gentle simmer.

If preparing the provincial version, return the oil flavoring to the mix at
this time.

Add the meat, and return to the simmer, cover and simmer, stirring
occasionally for about 20 minutes, until the meat is tender.

Add the vegetables, turn the heat up and boil vigorously for 1 minute.

Serve with jasmine rice.

Ingredients

      1 oz Cellophane noodles or bean 
           -threads
    1/4 lb Fresh black fungus (wood 
           -ear) mushr
           (or 2 oz dried wood ear 
           -mushrooms)
     10 oz Ground pork
           (or substitute chicken, 
           -turkey or s
      1 tb Fish sauce
      1 ts Pureed garlic
      1 tb Cornstarch
     10 c  Chicken stock or canned 
           -broth
           Freshly ground black pepper;
           - to taste
           Fish sauce; to taste
      1 bn Scallions, white and green 
           -parts; thinly sliced
    1/2 bn Cilantro; leaves only
           === CILANTRO PASTE ===
    1/2 bn Fresh cilantro; stems 
           -removed
    1/2 tb Palm sugar or brown sugar
    1/2 tb Freshly-grated ginger
      1 ts Cracked black pepper
      1 ts Pureed garlic
      1 tb Fish sauce

Instructions

To make cilantro paste, puree all ingredients in a mortar and pestle, or
blender, until a fine paste is formed.  You can also do this by hand by
firstchopping all ingredients, except fish sauce, together on a board to
form a paste.  Then mix with fish sauce in a small bowl.  Set aside.
Follow directions on packages for reconstituting cellophane noodles
and dried mushrooms, if necessary.  Noodles usually need to soak in warm
water forabout 15 minutes; mushrooms about 30 minutes.  While ingredients
are soaking, make dumplings by combining ground pork, fish sauce, garlic,
and cornstarch in a bowl.  With your hands, form small meatballs, about the
size of hazelnuts.  Set aside.
When noodles and mushrooms are finished soaking, drain.  Remove
and discardthe tough stems and slice mushrooms into julienne strips.  Cut
noodles into2- by 3-inch lengths.  Place all ingredients near stove and
bring chicken stock to a boil in a large stockpot.  Reduce heat to a simmer
and add pork balls, mushrooms, and noodles.  Cook, uncovered, until pork
is done, about 10 minutes.  Stir in cilantro paste and adjust seasonings
with pepper and fish sauce.  Ladle into serving bowls, sprinkle with sliced
scallions and cilantro leaves, and serve immediately.
This recipe yields 10 servings.

      2    serrano chilies; (optional; 
           -see
      1    ; note)
      1 ts ground ginger
      1    or 1 tablespoon grated fresh
           - ginger
      1 tb hoisin sauce
    1/4 c  chunky peanut butter
    1/4 c  soy sauce
      1 pk round rice papers; (see 
           -note)
      1    salt and pepper; (optional)

Instructions

Makes about 40 rolls

Prepare noodles according to package directions. Drain and rinse with
cold water until noodles are completely cooled; let noodles sit in
strainer until well-drained.

In a mixing bowl, combine carrots, cabbage, celery, bean sprouts, cilantro
and cooled noodles.

In a blender or food processor, combine sesame oil, vinegar, garlic,
chilies (if desired), ginger, hoisin sauce, peanut butter and soy sauce.
Blend until the sauce is emulsified.

Taste and add salt or pepper if necessary. The sauce should be very
flavorful.

Pour sauce over the mixed vegetables and toss well to coat. Refrigerate
30 minutes.

Place a clean, dry dish towel on flat surface. Fill a mixing bowl with
lukewarm water. Put a rice paper in the water and gently move it around
until it softens. There should be no more crispness left in the paper.

Lay the softened rice paper on the dish towel. Place a heaping tablespoon
of the vegetable mixture in the center of the rice paper. Fold the sides
of the paper over the mixture toward the center. The sides should
overlap.

Roll up rice paper starting from the bottom. The rice paper should be
sticky enough to glue itself together at the end.

Repeat this procedure until all the salad mixture is gone. Refrigerate
rolls until serving. The salad rolls are best enjoyed the day they are
made.

Note: Wear gloves when handling fresh chilies; the oils can cause a
burning sensation on your skin.

Note: Rice noodles and round rice papers are available at Asian grocery
stores and other markets specializing in Asian foods, and in some
supermarkets.

SALAD: Arrange the lettuce, tomatoes, onion, carrot & cucumber in a
salad bowl & lightly toss.  Add the bean curd & sprouts. Top with the
peanut- coconut milk dressing & garnish with potato chips. DRESSING:
In saucepan over medium heat, stir the coconut milk & red curry paste
together until the mixture turns to a pale amber & a thin coat of oil
appears on the surface. Add the remaining ingredients & stir over a

a tendency to thicken.  To bring it back to its correct consistency,
add 1/2 ts to 1 tb white vinegar & stir vigorously.

Ingredients

      1 lb boneless chicken meat 
           -(breast is be; skin removed
  1 1/2 tb curry powder
    1/2 ts salt
      1 tb sugar
    1/2 c  coconut milk

           -vinegar
    1/2 c  coconut milk
     20    bamboo skewers (about 5 
           -inches long

Instructions

Skin the chicken, wash it, and pat it dry. Cut the meat into 1/8 by 1 x
4-inch pieces. Cut the skin into 1-inch squares (I don't bother with the
skin). Mix the curry powder, salt, and sugar. Add this to the chicken
strips and chicken skin and marinate for 5 minutes. Add the first 1/2 c of
coconut milk and mix thoroughly. (Use your hands.) Add the vinegar and
marinate the chicken for at least 1 hour at room temperature (or in
refrigerator for several hours).

Thread the skewers using first a piece of chicken meat and then a piece of
chicken skin. Broil over a hot charcoal fire until cooked through --
turning only once. After turning, sprinkle some of the second 1/2 c of
coconut milk on the meat.

Serve at once with cucumber pickle and satay sauce.

Title: Thai Sauce And Noodle Salad
Yield: 1 Serving

Ingredients

      1    spaghetti; broken in thirds
      1    shredded carrots
      1    frozen green peas
      1    cooked chicken breast
      1    chopped green onions
      1    thai sauce:
      2 tb soy sauce

      1 ts sesame oil
      1 tb fresh ginger root; minced
      1 tb minced garlic
      1 ts hot chili paste
      1 ts sugar

Instructions

I wish I could give you more accurate measurements, but this was really a
last-minute inspiration and I wasn't paying much attention to quantities.
I cooked some spaghetti noodles, broken in thirds. Just before they were
done, I threw a couple of handfuls of packaged shredded carrots into the
pot just to tenderize the carrots. When the pasta was done, I threw in
some frozen green peas as I was draining the pot (just so the peas weren't
rock-hard). I rinsed the pasta/veggie mix in cold water until it was quite
cold; drained it and added some leftover chicken breast meat which I had
shredded. Toss with as much sauce as you like, add a few chopped green
onions for garnish and enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!!

heating it (which I'm sure is great, too), but I used it as a
dressing for a thrown-together cold pasta salad and my husband and
I thought we died and went to heaven.

Thanks, Lyn, for a wonderful, EASY new recipe!

  1 1/2    Cups Water; or more if

    1/2    Cup Thai sweet basil leaves

Instructions

Additional Ingredients:
Fresh coriander sprigs
1    Sandy clay pot casserole
-(2 quart size)
-=OR=- Dutch oven
Golden Mountain Sauce is prepared with Thai style-soy sauce, which may be
found in Southeast Asian markets.

IN A BOWL, COVER MUNG BEAN noodles with warm water; soak until soft and
pliable, about 10 minutes. Drain. Set aside. Clean and prepare the live
crab according to the following instructions (if using cooked crab, follow
the instructions after the steaming step). Shell and devein the shrimp;
pat dry. Clean squid according to the instructions below. Cut the body
crosswise into 1-inch rings; set aside the rings and cleaned tentacles. In
a mortar or spice mill, pound or grind the peppercorns, coriander root and
garlic into a paste. In a bowl, mix together the sugar, Golden Mountain
Sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice wine and sesame oil. Add oil to clay
pot or Dutch oven. Set over medium heat. Add reserved
coriander-garlic-pepper paste to the oil; saute lightly. Increase to high
heat. Add ginger, chiles and the crab pieces (add cooked crab later); toss
and brown for a minute. Add shrimp and green onions to crab mixture;
stir-fry for 30 seconds. Pour in the soy sauce mixture and mung bean
noodles; toss and mix together. Stir in water, cover pot, reduce to medium
heat and simmer for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. If noodles seem dry,
add more water. Increase to medium-high heat, add fish, squid and cooked
crab, mix with the noodles, top with the basil leaves. Cover. Cook 3 to 5
minutes longer. Check for doneness. Bring the clay pot to the table and
serve hot with rice and vegetables.

TO CLEAN AND PREPARE THE CRAB: Scrub the underside and in between claws
and legs to loosen sand and grit. Rinse well with cold water. Plunge crab
into boiling water for a minute to kill it immediately. Remove and cool.
To disjoint and crack the crab, hold shell portion of the crab in one
hand.
With the other hand, gather the legs and claws on one side and gently pull
and tug until the body and legs loosen and free themselves as a whole
section from the shell. On both sides of the body are featherly gills.
Pull off and discard these gills. The tail piece, a triangular flap, is
located on the underside of the body. With tip of knife lift up the flap,
grasp it, twist off and discard. Scrub exposed area clean. Now remove the
legs and claws by gently pulling and bending them backward against their
natural bend, and twist to free them. You now have the chest-body section
where the tomalley liver is embedded in the cavity. Spoon it out and
reserve it for those who appreciate it. The chest body should be chopped
in half down the middle with a heavy cleaver. Chop each section crosswise
into 3 equal pieces. With a light hammer or metal nut cracker, crack the
mid section and joint of each leg and claw; set aside the pieces. (When
eating, use the tip of the leg as a pick to dig out the meat.)

additional 30 seconds. Drain, and cool. Combine pasta mixture, shrimp,

Ingredients

      1    chicken (4 to 5 pounds)
      1    salt
      2 qt water
      3    stalks fresh lemon grass
      8 sl fresh galangal (or fresh 
           -ginger)
      6    garlic cloves, smashed
      6    fresh thai bird chiles *
      8    shallots, sliced
      6    fresh kaffir lime leaves 
           -(optional)

    1/4 c  fresh thai basil leaves, cut
           - into t; hin strips
      1 ts black pepper

Instructions

* (or 4 Serranos), cut into coarse strips, seeds and all.

Salt the chicken inside and out and let stand for 30 minutes to an
hour.

In a pot the chicken will fit in snugly, bring water to a boil. Add
the chicken and when the water returns to a boil, skim the foam. Cut
off the bottom 1/3 of the lemon grass stalk, discarding the rest. Cut
the bottom on the bias into oval slices and add to the pot along with
the galangal, garlic, chiles, shallots and kaffir lime leaves (if you
can find them).

Turn the heat to medium-low, partially cover the pot, and simmer for
30 minutes.  Then add the fish sauce, sugar and up to 2 teaspoons of
salt (or to taste). Simmer until the skin near the wing starts to
split, about 30 more minutes, then remove the chicken to a large,
round serving bowl leaving the stock in the pot. Cover the chicken to
keep warm.

Add the lime juice to the broth as well as the coriander and basil
leaves. Pour the broth over the chicken, sprinkle with the black
pepper and serve.

The chicken should pull off the bone easily; it's best eaten from
bowls with some of the broth and herbs poured over.

Title: Thai Stuffed Tomatoes
Yield: 5 Servings

Ingredients

      1    text only

Instructions

Is there a cuisine which doesn't have a version of stuffed tomatoes?
The filled vegetables are always good but this Thai interpretation is
quite different.

Cut the tops off 10 tomatoes and set them aside to be used later as
lids. Scoop out the seeds and internal flesh of the tomatoes, leaving
the fleshy shell. Lightly salt the interiors and stand the tomatoes
upside down in a rack to drain.

Pound in a mortar or process together the well-washed roots of a
bunch of coriander, 4 cloves of garlic, 1/2 onion and 10 peppercorns
(better use coarsely ground pepper if processing). Remove this
mixture to a bowl and add 250 g minced pork, 250 g cooked crab meat
(tinned can be used if necessary), 1 teaspoon sugar, 2 tablespoons
fish sauce and 1 egg. Mix well rinse out and dry the tomato cases,
stuff with the mixture and replace the lids.  Bake in a preheated
180C oven for half an hour.

Makes 5 servings.

skillet until hot.  Add half the beef, season with salt and pepper and cook
quickly over high heat.  As the beef sears well but before it overcooks,
remove from the pan and briefly set aside while you repeat the procedure
with the remaining beef.  When the second batch is similarly cooked, return
the first batch of beef to the pan and quickly heat all together.
Add the ginger, cumin, basil and fish sauce.  Cook
for 1 to 2 minutes more before serving by pouring over and wilting the
marinated vegetable salad.  Serve with glutinous rice that has soaked raw
overnight and then steamed for 30 minutes.
This recipe yields 4 servings

  [Home]  Thai Sweet Rice With Mangoes  [Home]  




Title: Thai Sweet Rice With Mangoes
Yield: 1 Servings

Ingredients

      2 c  glutinous rice (see notes)
  3 1/2 c  coconut milk (see notes)
    1/2 c  sugar
      1 ts salt
      6    mangoes-ripe,peeled & sliced
      1    (actually 4 to 6 depending
      1    on the size)

Instructions

GLUTINOUS RICE: Glutinous or sweet rice is a white, short-grained
rice that has a sticky consistency when cooked. It can be found in
Asian markets and many markets with asian specialty sections. CANNED
COCONUT MILK: Canned coconut milk also is sold in Asian markets and
some supermarkets with Asian specialty sections. Do not confuse this
product with the water inside the coconut. SHORTCUT: A Japanese rice
cooker can make short work of cooking the glutinous rice. Rather than
soaking the rice, rinse it 3 times in cold water and drain.  Cook
rice according  to manufacturer's directions. PROCEDURE: Cover rice
with water and soak at least 6 hours or overnight (see shortcut). A
couple of hours or so before serving, drain rice and spread on a
cheesecloth-lined section of a steamer; steam for 45 minutes. During
the steaming, sprinkle the rice 2 times with 1/4 cup water.
Meanwhile, over medium heat using a Dutch oven or large saucepan,
simmer the coconut milk on medium-low heat until it is reduced by
one-third in volume.  Use caution toward the end of simmering,
because the coconut milk can sen spouts of liquid 2 or 3 inches above
the pan toward the end of the simmering time if it is too hot. Remove
from heat and stir in sugar and salt. When rice is finished steaming
and has rested for 10 minutes, blend it with the warm, sweetened
coconut milk; allow to stand for 10 minutes. Immediately arrange rice
on platter and place mango on top. Serve.

Title: Thai Veal Potstickers
Yield: 4 Servings

Ingredients

      1    no ingredients

Instructions

2 sm green onion -- minced
1 TB fresh ginger -- finely
:          minced
1 lb ground veal
2 TB oyster sauce
1 TB Chinese rice wine
1/2 ts Asian chili sauce
40    round gyoza or wonton
:          wrappers
1/4 c  cornstarch
3 TB flavorless cooking oil
:          Sauce:
1 TB fresh basil leaves --
:          minced
1 TB cilantro -- chopped
1 sm green onion -- minced
1/2 c  unsweetened coconut milk
1/4 c  Chinese rice wine
1 TB oyster sauce
1 ts Asian chili sauce
1/2 ts curry powder
1/2 ts sugar

Advance preparation: In a bowl, combine the green onions, ginger,
veal, oyster sauce, rice wine and chile sauce. Mix thoroughly. Place
2 teaspoons filling in the center of a wrapper. (If using square
wonton wrappers, trim them into circles.) Bring edges of wrapper up
around filling and encircle the dumpling "waist" with your index
finger and thumb. Squeeze the waist gently with that same index
finger, while also pressing the top and the bottom of the dumpling
with your other index finger and thumb. Line a baking sheet with
parchment paper, dust paper heavily with cornstarch, place dumplings
on the baking sheet, and refrigerate uncovered. Set aside the cooking
oil. Combine all sauce ingredients and mix well. All advance
preparation steps may be completed up to 8 hours before you begin the
final cooking steps. Final cooking steps: Place a 12-inch nonstick
saute pan over high heat.  Add cooking oil and immediately add
dumplings bottom side down. Fry dumplings until bottoms become dark
golden, about 2 minutes. Pour in sauce.  Immediately cover pan,
reduce heat to medium, and steam dumplings until they are firm to the
touch, about 2 minutes. Shake the pan so that the dumplings "capsize"
and are glazed all over with the sauce. Tip out onto a heated serving
platter or 4 heated dinner plates. Serve at once. Suggested
accompaniments: Roasted baby beets, a Cobb salad, and raspberries
with Grand Marnier truffles. Serves 6 to 10 as an appetizer or 4 as
the main entree.

Instructions

4 SERVINGS VEGAN

Fortunately, many Southeast Asian ingredients formerly considered exotic
are now regularly stocked on supermarket shelves. You'll need Thai curry
paste and a stalk of lemon grass to get the great taste that this quick
recipe delivers. If your supermarket doesn't carry them, try an Asian
market. It's worth the effort to have these ingredients on hand. Serve
this memorable stew on its own or over jasmine or basmati rice.

In large saucepan, combine water, stock powder, lemon grass and curry
paste. Bring to a boil. Add sweet potatoes, cover and cook over medium
heat for 7 minutes. Stir in beans and salt to taste. Cover and cook
until
sweet potatoes are tender, about 3 minutes more. Add a bit more water if
mixture becomes too dry. Remove pieces of lemon grass before serving.

           For the sauce:
      1 tb naam pla (fish sauce)
      3 tb fresh lime juice
      1 tb white-wine vinegar
      1 ts sugar; or to taste
      2 ts minced peeled fresh 
           -gingerroot

      1 tb finely chopped fresh 
           -coriander
      2 tb vegetable oil
           coriander sprigs for garnish

Instructions

Make the filling:

In a bowl combine well the scallion, the pork, the gingerroot, the bell
pepper, the cabbage, the garlic, the oil, the soy sauce, the coriander, the
egg, and salt and pepper to taste and chill the filling for at least 1 hour
or overnight.

Put about 1 heaping teaspoon of the filling in the center of 1 of the
wrappers and moisten the edge of the wrapper. Gather the edge of the
wrapper up and around the filling and form a waist with the wrapper,
pushing the dumpling from the bottom and keeping the filling level with the
top of the wrapper. (The filling should not be enclosed.) Continue to make
dumplings with the remaining wrappers and filling in the same manner and
arrange them in one layer on a baking sheet lined with wax paper dusted
lightly with the cornstarch. (The dumplings may be prepared up to this
point 8
hours in advance and kept uncovered and chilled or 1 month in advance and
kept covered tightly and frozen. If the dumplings are frozen, do not thaw
them in advance.)

Make the sauce:
In a bowl whisk together the naam pla, the lime juice, the vinegar, the
sugar, the gingerroot, the mint, the coriander, salt and pepper to taste.

In a large non-stick skillet heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over high heat
until it is hot but not smoking and in it fry half the dumplings, flat
sides down, over moderately high heat for 1 minute, or until the undersides
are golden. Add 1/2 cup water and steam the dumplings, covered, over
moderate heat for 3 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through. (If using
frozen dumplings, fry them, frozen, for 1 minute, or until the undersides
are golden, and steam them, adding 3/4 cup water per batch, covered, for 8
to 10 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through.) Add the remaining 1
tablespoon oil to the skillet and cook the remaining dumplings in the same
manner. Garnish the dumplings with the coriander sprigs and serve them with
the sauce.

Makes 60 dumplings.

2 tb Five-spice powder                        -thick
2 tb Soy sauce                         1/2    Red onion, sliced and
1 tb Crushed dried Asian chilis               -separated into strips
-(about 8 small)                         Amerasian Dipping Sauce
1 tb Plus 1 tsp curry powder                  -(separate recipe)

Servings: 8 Notes: This Asian-influenced dish is from Philipe La
Mancusa, the chef at Embarko in San Francisco. He serves the chicken
with fried plantains, rice and Singha beer from Thailand. The chicken
must marinate for one to two days before grilling.

DIRECTIONS: In a small bowl, mix the fish sauce, brown sugar, coconut
milk, lime juice, five-spice powder, soy sauce, crushed chiles and
curry powder. Set aside for at least 2 hours.

Stir the marinade well. Place the chicken in a glass baking dish and
coat thoroughly with the marinade. Transfer the chicken to 2 large,
heavy Ziploc plastic bags. Pour in any extra marinade. Press out any
air and zip the bags to close. Set aside to marinate at room
temperature for 2 hours, then refrigerate for at least 24 hours or up
to 2 days, turning the bags occasionally.

Light the grill. Cut the chicken wings off at the second joint or
fasten the wing tips to the rib cages with metal skewers. The fire is
ready when you can hold your hand 7 inches above the coals for at
least 4 seconds. Grill the chicken, bony sides down, for 1 1/2
minutes, then turn and grill for 1 1/2 minutes to seal in the juices.
Turn the chicken again and grill for about 6 minutes, until the
surface meat is firm. Turn and grill for 6 minutes longer. If the
fire is too hot, the skin will char, so watch carefully and turn the
chicken if necessary. Grill the chicken, turning occasionally, for 17
to 25 minutes longer. It is done as soon as the meat is white
throughout and the juices run clear when the meat is deeply pierced.

Alternatively, preheat the broiler. Broil the chicken for about 35
minutes, beginning skin-side up and turning every 10 minutes.

Serve the chicken on plates or a platter, garnished with the lettuce,
tomatoes, cucumbers and red onion. Serve each person 1/4 cup of the
dipping sauce in small dishes.

Suggested Wine: Riesling

NOTES : * I used regular spaghetti but if you can't get Soba noodles
(buckwheat noodles) then try fettucine or some type of wide noodle.
** I didn't have coconut milk so I used nonfat milk and added a little
coconut extract.

*** I used soy butter instead of peanut butter. My son is allergic to
peanuts and even the oil on his skin from our fingers makes him break
out so no peanut anything in this house.

I also did not use the bean sprouts. Instead I sliced up some scallion
and some chinese sausage. I browned the sausage and added it in after
everthing was cooked and mixed.

After blending the tamarind paste and the boiling water, put through a
sieve so that any little pits from the tamarind are removed. I, then,
placed it in the food processor and added the other ingredients. Pureed
it and then put it back in the big bowl.

NOTES : * I thought that distilled white vinegar was not "thai" at all
so I used rice wine vinegar for a more authentic taste.

** You can also use thin spaghetti or regular spaghetti if you don't
have rice noodles. All I had were mung bean noodles (bean threads) so I
used thin spaghetti. Not as authentic, but just as tasty.

Other notes: I didn't have sprouts so I used some yellow bell peppers in
slivers. I can't use peanut butter in our house (son is allergic) so I
used soynut butter and the taste was very similar. I also sprinkled some
soy nuts on top for crunch (also because the thai cooks usually garnish
with a sprinkling of peanuts).

I thought that 3 tbsp of water was a little much to moisten the salad.
Next time I will use less. I'll start with 1 tbsp and work my way up.
Otherwise, it was perfect.

Thailand is truly a place for seafood lovers. There is water everywhere in
Bangkok++even in the dry season. And everywhere there is water, the Thais
use
it to grow something to eat! Add to that the fact that the Gulf of Thailand
is
not far away from the city and it all adds up to good eatin' for seafood
lover's! The following recipe is typical of the bewildering variety of
cioppino and jambalaya type seafood stews found there++and each one seems
better than the last.

Title: Thai-Style Soup With Tofu Dumplings
Yield: 6 Servings

Ingredients

           * TOFU AND MARINADE *
     10 oz Tofu Mori-nu lite firm
    1/2 c  sake; or sherry
    1/4 c  low sodium tamari soy sauce
    1/2 ts minced fresh garlic
    1/2 ts minced fresh ginger
           * SOUP *
      6 c  low sodium vegetable broth
      1 tb fish sauce; or to taste
      1 ts minced fresh garlic
      1 ts minced fresh ginger
    1/2 c  chopped fresh cilantro
           OR flat leaf parsley
      8 oz cellophane noodles; 
           -rehydrated
           OR substitute other lowfat 
           -thin pas
           * DUMPLINGS *
      1 ts flour
      1    egg white
           OR 2-Tbs liquid egg 
           -substitute
    1/3 c  finely chopped green onions
           both white and green parts
    1/2 ts minced fresh garlic
    1/2 ts minced fresh ginger
           red pepper flakes; optional

Instructions

Glass noodles, rice sticks, mung bean noodles, or angel hair pasta may be
used in this soup. Fish sauce is discussed below. Garlic and ginger are
added to the marinade, the broth and the dumplings. Serve the soup as a
first course or with a salad for a light meal. Time: 30 minutes Marinade;
10 mins prep. Equip: Food processor or blender.

1. Drain tofu and cut into 1/2-inch slices. Marinate the tofu slices in a
single layer in the sake, soy, 1/2 teaspoon each minced garlic and ginger
for 30 minutes.

2. Prepare the noodles as directed on the package.

3. Bring vegetable broth to a simmer. Add 1 teaspoon each chopped ginger
and garlic. Add fish sauce and cilantro.

4. Put tofu in a food procesor with the flour, egg white, scallions and 1/2
teaspoon each chopped ginger and garlic. Process quickly. Remove and roll
into 1-inch balls. Poach the dumplings gently for 1 minutes in the
simmering broth, until they expand and float to the top. Add the noodles
and red pepper flakes. Simmer for 3 to 5 minutes.  Serve.

It's easy to think of ways to vary this basic idea. Use the dumplings in a
vegetable stew as you might Brunswick stew. You could add vegetables, vary
the broth, the herbs and the spices.

VEGETABLE  SOUP WITH TOFU DUMPLINGS: Omit noodles. Add finely shredded
vegetables such as carrot, zucchini, green bean. Simmer in the broth 1 to 2
minutes. Remove. Bring broth to a simmer and cook dumplings. Combine and
serve.

TORTILLA SOUP WITH TOFU DUMPLINGS: Substitute a bottled mole sauce or
minced onion for the ginger.  Marinate tofu in tangy or hot V-8 juice
cocktail with garlic and chipotle barbecue sauce.  For the broth, use
bouillon instead of the fish sauce.  Add corn, black beans, and diced red
pepper to the soup. Top with tortilla strips. Serve.

The fish sauce (nam pla) is salty and slightly sweet. It adds another layer
of flavor to the broth. You could leave it out or substitute a vegetable
juice: carrot or V-8 or a vegetarian "oyster" sauce. Other options are also
salty: add a small amount and adjust to taste: miso paste, soup-base
concentrate (Minor's or Better than Bouillon are two brands), Braggs amino.
The result may need honey or other sweetener.

           -& ends

Instructions

Make the dressing: Mince and mash the garlic with the salt until the
mixture forms a paste. In a small bowl stir together the lime juice, the
soy sauce, the sugar, the garlic paste, the chilies, and the mint until the
sugar is dissolved and let the dressing stand at room temperature for 30
minutes to develop the flavors.

Sprinkle both sides of the steak generously with the pepper, rubbing the
pepper into the meat, and brush them with some of the oil. Grill the steak,
seasoned with salt, on a well oiled rack set 4 to 5 inches over glowing
coals, turning it once, for 16 to 18 minutes, or until it is springy to the
touch for medium-rare meat. (Alternatively, the steak may be cooked in the
same manner in a well-seasoned ridged grill pan, brushed with the oil and
heated over moderately high heat until the begins to smoke.) Transfer the
steak to a cutting board and let it stand for 15 minutes.

While the steak is grilling, in a skillet heat 1/2 inch of the oil over
moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking and in it fry the
shallot, stirring, for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until it is golden.
Transfer the shallot with a slotted spoon to paper towels and let it drain.
The shallot may be cooked 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled.

Cut the steak across the grain into 1/4-inch-thick slices and divide the
slices among 4 plates, overlapping them in the center. Surround the steak
with the green beans, top the green beans with the bean sprouts, and
sprinkle the bean sprouts with the shallot. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the
dressing over each serving of steak and serve the remaining dressing
separately.

  [Home]  Thai-Style- Spicy Eggplant-Mushroom Sauce  [Home]  




Title: Thai-Style, Spicy Eggplant-Mushroom Sauce
Yield: 1 Servings

Ingredients

    1/2 lb mushrooms
      1 md shallot
      2 md garlic cloves
    1/2 ts hunan style red chili paste
  1 1/2 c  rice milk or milk substitute
      1 lb eggplant
      1 md red bell pepper
    1/2 c  chopped asparagus stems 
           -(originally; this was peas)
    1/2 c  fresh basil leaves
      2 ts sugar
    1/2 ts plum sauce
    1/2 ts ginger
    1/4 c  veggie stock
      2    3 drops toasted sesame oil
      2 ts tapioca flour (see note)

Instructions

Mince garlic and shallot; quarter mushrooms, dice eggplant into 1-inch
cubes and slice red bell pepper into long strips.

In a large frying pan, on medium head add stock and mushrooms.  Simmer for
5 minutes or until mushrooms are tender and brown.  Remove mushrooms and
set aside.  In remaining stock add shallot and garlic, sautee for 1-2
minutes.  Add chili paste and milk.  Bring mixture to a boil then reduce
heat and simmer on low for 5 minutes, stirring often. Add sugar, plum sauce
and sesame oil (only a few drops!  It's amazing the flavor it adds). Add
eggplant, asparagus stems and red bell pepper. Bring mixture back up to a
boil.  Cover and simmer for 15 minutes stirring occasionally until eggplant
and asparagus are tender. In the last 5 minutes add mushrooms and fresh
basil leaves.

Serve over grilled polenta (recipe follows) or rice and the steamed
asparagus tips.

Note: When I made this recipe I felt that the sauce was too thin.  The
original recipe called for coconut milk and olive oil as the sauce's base.
How I remedied this problem was as follows: I removed all the vegetables
from the pan using a slotted spoon and turned the heat down to the lowest
setting.  I placed them in the serving bowl and set aside. In a measuring
cup I added 1/3 cup cold water and 2 heaping teaspoons of tapioca flour
(not pearls).  Once this was thoroughly mixed I poured it into the sauce
while stirring with the slotted spoon. In less than a minute the sauce had
thickened very nicely.  I then poured the sauce into the bowl over the
vegetables and served. It was pleasantly spicy (go light on the red chili
paste if you dislike REALLY hot foods) and filling.

Note2:  if you wanted to be more authentic you could try adding some
coconut extract...

Title: The Liver Cocktail
Yield: 1 Info

Ingredients

      1    no ingredients

Instructions

I have found a juice recommended for the health of livers... this
comes from _About Raw Juices_ by John B. Lust. (He also wrote a very
good herb book.)

The Liver Cocktail

The liver is probably one of the most abused organs of the whole
body, as the blood must constantly be strained through it, and the
average person's blood is full of toxic materials resulting from a
devitalized and synthetic diet.

Put one-half of an onion and three or four radishes -- either red,
white or black variety -- through the vegetable juice extractor. Then
add pineapple juice.

This health cocktail is rich in organic sulphur and will give the
overworked liver a good renovation.

"Several years ago, six chefs competed at Leeds in the "Great
Yorkshire Pudding Contest". To the chagrin of native cooks, the
winner was Mr Tin Sung Chan from Hong Kong, who ran the Chopsticks
Restaurant. 'His methods were unorthodox,' wrote the 'Guardian'
reporter, 'his ingredients oddly arranged, but his pudding swelled to
the height of a coronation crown and its taste, according to one of
the judges, was superb'.

Title: The Real Chinese Chicken Salad
Yield: 8 Servings

Ingredients

           Dressing:
      2 oz chunk of fresh ginger root
    1/3 c  sugar
    1/3 c  vinegar (rice vinegar)
      1 tb sesame oil
      1 tb soy sauce
      1 tb hoisin sauce or plum sauce
      2 tb water
           few sprinkles white pepper
      2 tb crushed peanuts or walnuts 
           -or almon
           Salad:
      1    head iceberg lettuce
      2 c  chicken chunks; stir fried, 
           -baked,
           ; roasted, or broiled
           Crispy fried wonton strips; 
           -See directions
           Fruits such as pineapple, 
           -raisins,
           mandarin orange slices, 
           -pear, etc.

Instructions

For the dressing:
Peel the ginger, then mince it as finely as you can.  You should have about
1/4 cup - it doesn't have to be exact.  Put the vinegar and sugar in a
small
pot.  Bring to a boil, uncovered and boil one minute.  Add the finger and
boil 1 minute more.  Take off the heat.  Pour into a mixing bowl.  Add the
rest of the dressing ingredients.  You'll have about 3/4 cup.

Wash the lettuce, tear into bite-size squares and spin it dry in a salad
spinner.  Toss the lettuce thoroughly with the dressing.  Mound the lettuce
on individual salad plates or in a big salad bowl.  Top with handfuls of
chicken, wontons and fruit

Crispy Wonton Strips:
People can't get enough of fried wontons.  Canned crispy noodles are a
barely
acceptable artifice.  Real fried wontons are 1/4 inch thick and 2 inches
long, a fine fried mouthful.  Put extras in a bowl on the table.

10 wonton skins.
Vegetable oil

Cut the stack of wontons skins into strips 1/4 inch wide.  Pour 2 to 3
inches
of vegetable oil into a wok or medium-sized pot.  Turn the heat to
medium-high and heat the oil until it's very hot (375 degrees on a candy
thermometer).  Have ready a cookie sheet lined with paper towels, for
draining the strips.

Add the wonton strips to the oil in batches.  Leave room for them to bob
around.  The strips will curl.  After a minute or less, they'll be golden.
As they become done, take them out of the oil with a slotted spoon or
tongs,
and drain in batches on paper towels.  You might have to turn down the heat
to medium if the oil is frying the wontons too fast.

You can use 4 tablespoons white (not red) pickled ginger and omit heating
with vinegar and sugar.

NOTES : I added a little hot chili oil to the dressing to give it a little
more taste.  It's pretty mild without the chili oil.

Title: Things You Look For In A Good Japanese Sushi Restaraunt 2
Yield: 4 Servings

Ingredients

      1    info file

8. The only thing left now is to try the sushi and form your opinion
based on what it tastes like. Perhaps, there is one thing you might
do as a preliminary test. It is said that every good sushi chef
should know how to make tamago (egg). This is where egg is cooked
into a shape like a cigar box
and then sliced for nigiri sushi. The texture should be light but
firm, the taste light and slightly sweet and the shape should be
regular. Some people feel that when going to a new restaurant, they
should order this item first and if the tamago is not of very good
quality, then the sushi chef cannot be
very good. I think that this is actually true and that if you go to a
restaurant where they do not have this kind of tamago or where the
tamago does not meet a high standard of taste and appearance, then it
is not likely
that the sushi chef is very good.

9. As they say in Japan, "bon appetit!"

From: "Nuuanu Menehune" 

On Sat, 4 Apr 1998, Nuuanu Menehune writes and makes several cogent
points that are spot on.  He continues;

> 5. A good sushi chef will

(which can

But rounds the corner, hits number 5 and suffers a meltdown and
proceeds to hit the wall. Five is WRONG.  He has just described
teriyaki sauce.  No self-respecting itamae would even think of this.
Heavens to murgatroid!!!

Depends on the target market and thus targeted price point.  I've had
some very good kaiten/mawari-zushi made with good rice and fish, in
other words good quality, but 2 pieces for 80 yen.  I guess you could
make the argument that this "fast-food" sushi isn't high cuisine, but
it sure was good.

> 7.  Spices in different types of dipping sauce okay.  In fact, one
sing > of a good sushi chef is the ability to mix or even create
different dipping

Largely true with the exception of "dipping sauces."  Never seen any
sauce other than straight shoyu served with sushi in Japan (anago &
unagi are the exceptions which prove the rule).  Different sauces
with sashimi, katsuo tataki, etc., yes.  But certainly not the
teriyaki sauce described above.  "Spices in the shoyu" with
_sushi_??????  Save us all!

Good practice on the customer's part.  If they can't even make a
"basic" like dashi-maki, then they're unlikely to do well with other
things.

But what the heck do I know....  My host family's father used to put a
teaspoon of ajinomoto in his shoyu to eat otsukuri...  Yikes!

      1    mushrooms ***
      1    shrimp if you want ***
      1    stalk lemon grass; - cut 
           -into 2 inch
      2 sl galanga root; - (more if you
           - like
      1    chewing on them.)
      4    kaffir lime leaves
      1    cilantro leaves as desired
      1 ts chili sauce
      2 tb fish sauce
  1 1/2 tb lemon juice
  
  ----------------------------OPTIONAL----------------------------------
      1    sliced hot peppers

Instructions

* About 1 tsp. or 1 tbsp of powdered thyme.
** Some boneless skinless chicken pieces, thighs with the bones bashed once
with the back of a knife.
*** As many as you like, cut any way.

Instructions:
Use a large covered stockpot. Heat olive and sesame oil on high heat. Add
cloves, bay leaves, thyme, (these should be pounded a bit first to crack
the
fibers and release more flavor) and onion, carrots. Cover 2 minutes, stir.

Add chicken on top, and pour ONE cup of water over the tops of the chicken.
Cover. Cook 5 minutes on high.

Add remainder of water, cover, continue heating till it starts to boil,
then
turn heat down and simmer covered 30 minutes. Skim off foam occasionally.
Remove chicken, debone, and cut into bite sized pieces. Strain soup, avoid
getting the sediment at the bottom. (What you do with the leftover veggies
after making a stock is up to you. I think they end up in Minnesotan hot
dishes....) Take 4 cups of the stock, heat until it begins to boil, turn
down
the heat till it is just simmering. Add galanga, lemon grass, Kaffir lime
leaves (bash them a bit to break the fibers--it allows them to release more
flavor).
Add mushrooms, chicken, (shrimp if you must). Stir in the fish sauce, chili
paste. Cover, cook for another 5 minutes. Serve.

Add lemon juice (just have slices of lemon or lime that you can squeeze)
cilantro, and thinly sliced jalapenos or other hot peppers at the table.
Fresh
basil also adds a nice touch.

Title: Tofu Steak With Japanese Mushroom Sauce
Yield: 4 Servings

Ingredients

      4    firm tofu
      1 c  fresh shiitake mushroom
      1 c  fresh enoki mushroom
      1 pk regular white mushrooms
    1/2    green onions
      2    cloves garlic
      2 tb sake (japanese rice wine)
      4 tb soy sauce
    2/3 c  dashi (japanese fish stock)
      2 ts cornstarch
      1    salt
      4 tb vegetable oil

Instructions

Here is a recipe for an authentic Tofu steak from the best seller recipe
magazine in Japan. Enjoy!

1. Place a clean cloth towel in a shallow  plate (something like brownie
pan would be good) and put Tofu on it for 30 minutes to drain water. Wipe
the surface of Tofu with paper towels and sprinkle some salt (to make the
surface of the steak crisp and brown when done.)

2. Cut off the stem of mushrooms and slice them. divide Enoki into small
bunch. Cut green onions in 2 inches long. Finely chop garlic.

3. Put 2 Tbsp of vegetable oil in a frying pan and fry both sides of Tofu
in medium-high heat, until Tofu turn golden brown. Put them on serving
plates.

4. Wipe the frying pan with paper towel and add another 2 Tbsp of vegetable
oil. Saute garlic and the mushrooms in medium heat quickly. Add Sake, soy
sauce and Dashi stock and bring it to boil. Add green onions.  Dissolve
cornstarch in 2Tbsp of water and add to the sauce. Stir from the bottom of
the pan and pour it over the cooked Tofu. Serve while hot! (4 servings)

NOTE: Dashi is the basic soup stock used in most Japanese dishes such as
Miso Soup and Udon. You can get the powered stock called 'Hondashi' in any
Oriental stores. Substitute it with chicken stock if you like. Shiitake and
Enoki are very expensive in the U.S., but they are very flavorful. Try not
to cook them too long.

           -chili; seeded and minced
      1    ; (wear rubber
      1    ; gloves), or 1
      1    ; teaspoons scotch
      1    ; bonnet pepper
      1    ; sauce*
      1 ts salt
    1/4 ts dried thyme; crumbled
    7/8 c  water
      2 tb white-wine vinegar
    1/4 c  fresh lime juice
      2 tb vegetable oil
      2 tb chopped fresh coriander; or 
           -to or to taste,
      1    ; plus a coriander
      1    ; sprig for garnish
      1    ; if desired

Instructions

To make the tostones:

With a small sharp knife cut the ends from each plantain and cut a
lengthwise slit through the skin along the inside curve. Beginning in the
center of the slit, pry the skin from the plantain and cut the flesh
crosswise into 1-inch-thick pieces. In a deep fryer or large deep skillet
heat 1 1/2 inches of the oil to 375F. on a deep-fat thermometer, in it
fry a batch of the plantain pieces for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, or until they
are pale golden, and transfer them with a slotted spoon to paper towels to
drain briefly. Working quickly, using a tortilla press or the flat bottom
of a glass or bottle, flatten each piece, a cut side up, between sheets of
wax paper to a thickness of no less than 1/4 to 1/3 inch. Refry the
flattened pieces in the 375F. oil, turning them occasionally, for 2 to 3
minutes, or until they are golden, transfer them with a slotted spoon to
paper towels to drain, and season them with salt. (The tostones should be
crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside.) Fry the remaining plantain
pieces in batches in the same manner. The tostones are best served
immediately, but they may be made 1 day in advance, wrapped well in
plastic bags, and reheated on a rack in a shallow baking pan in a
preheated 450F. oven for 3 to 5 minutes, or until they are heated
through. Serve the tostones with the sauce.

To make the sauce:

In a heatproof bowl combine the onion, the scallions, the bell pepper, the
garlic, the chili, the salt, and the thyme. In a small saucepan bring the
water to a boil with the vinegar, pour the vinegar mixture over the
vegetable mixture, and let the mixture cool. Stir in the lime juice and
the oil. The sauce may be made 2 days in advance and kept covered and
chilled. Let the sauce come to room temperature, stir in the chopped
coriander, and garnish the sauce with the coriander sprigs. Makes about 2
cups.

Makes about 24 tostones.

  [Home]  Traditional Masala Dosa (South Indian)  [Home]  




Title: Traditional Masala Dosa (South Indian)
Yield: 1 Servings

Ingredients

      1    free form recipe

Instructions

:     3 cups rice (not basmati!), soaked overnight, room temp. water.
:     1 cup urad dal (a specific type of lentils avail. at Indian
:       grocery stores--- no substitution; other dals will not work
:       like this)
:       Soaked separately overnight --- room temp. water
Traditionally, stone grinders (huge mortars) and rolling pestles are
used to grind the rice and the urad dal and motorized versions of
those are now available at Indian elcetronic stores in D.C.  A mixie
or a blender cuts the grains into fine pieces, but does not "mash"
them like the stone grinders do. So there is a good deal of
difference taste when you use a blender. But still, it is not bad at
all if you make sure that you grind the rice really fine. Cover the
rice with water just 1/2 "above the rice line in the blender. Grind
till Smooth.   Grind the dal separately, with water that barely
covers it. Grind a long time (be patient!), stirring once in a while
and grinding again. When the dal is ground very well, and small air
bubbles appear once you stop running the blender, it is enough. Add
more water if necessary, But this should be very thick. MIx the rice
and the urad dal pastes, with 1/2 tsp salt. Add one tablespoon beaten
yogurt, and mix well.

Keep covered to let it ferment for at least 5 to 8 hrs or more. (Keep
it close to a heater or in any warm place). Once it has risen, stir
briefly, and keep it oin the fridge. You have the batter now. Grease
a griddle with plain sesame oil or peanut oil if you care about max.
flavor; if not use veg. oil. The heat should be medium or slightly
higher. When hot (a few drops of water will sizzle gently and
disappear), using a metal ladle, pour one ladleful over the griddle;
with quick and even and gentle strokes, spread the batter out with
the ladle as if you are drawing concentric circles on the batter. Do
it either clockwise OR anticlockwise else you get lumps. It takes a
few tries believe me, and some of us who are trained well in this
mess up occasioanlly. drizzle oil around edges, and on top. Once the
bottom is cooked, turn it over, and cook the top. Be careful when
using your spatula (metal preferred) to take it out to  flip it. This
can be served with chilli-dal-spice powder and oil or ghee, coconut
chutney, cilantro or mint chutney, onion chutney, or red garlic
chutney, and/or saambar. (If you want their recipes, email me) This
is standard breakfast or supper fare for us, growing up in the south.

Else, as in your restaurant, make a filling as follows: 1. Take 2
large boiled potatoes, peel and mash coarsely. 2. Thinly slice one
large red onion, 2 cloves of garlic (optional)
:    and 3 or 4 green chillies. 3. Grate a 1" piece of ginger. 4. Cut
up a tomato if you want. 5. Take a sprig of curry leaves and chop
them coarsely. 6. Heat some veg. oil, add some fennel seeds, and
cummin seeds (1/2 :    tsp. each) 7. Add 1/2 tsp of black mustard
seeds. 8. When they crackle, add the green chillies, ginger, garlic
(if :    used), and onions and fry them with a little salt for a while
:    till onions are transparent. Add curry leaves. 9. Next add 1/2
pkt of frozen peas, tomatoes (if you choose), and
:    fry for 5 minutes. 10. Add the potatoes, and more salt if
desired. stir well till
:    blended 11. Add some chopped cilantro if you want.

When making the dosai, spread the batter out as mentioned earlier,
drizzle oil, and keep the skillet  or griddle covered (any cover will
do as long as the dosai area is covered; just be sure the cover does
not touch the dosai). In less than a minute, the dosai will be cooked
with oil on the bottom, and its top will be cooked by the steam that
is generated when you cover it. The color is now not the white of the
batter but kinda dull; you'll know) Turn the heat down, place the
cooled filling acrooss the center along the diagonal, and fold both
sides overlappingly over it to form a cylindrical shape. Increase the
heat slightly, drizzle more oil, and cook both sides till golden.
Else, place the filling in the center, and fold from three sides,
forming a triangle, overlapping and covering the filling. Cook as
above.

IF YOU HAVE LEFT OVER BATTER & REALLY FERMENTED, MAKE "OOTHAPPAM":
Chop some onions, green chillies, and cilantro really well, mix with
salt. Soon as you spread out the pancake, sprinkle the chopped stuff
on top. Drizzle oil on top, flip it over carefully when the bottom is
cooked, and cook the other side. Serve with coconut chutney. If you
are into a health-diet, do not drizzle oil over and around pancake.
Just grease the griddle lightly with a paper towel; in this case,
cook just one side of the dosai on the greased surface, covering the
dosai to let the steam cook the top. This dosa is very soft and
tasty. Back home, we add some fenugreek seeds to the urad dal, soak
and grind them together for a superior texture, flavor, and color.
Hope that helps! I have babbled too much, but really, it is very easy
to make once you have the batter. From: av9y@poe.acc.Virginia.EDU

Andrea and Marjorie have entered their soy-sauce meat marinades in the
milleu.  Here are two much simpler ones that I use.  Both with marinate at
2 pound steak to serve 4-6 depending on how carnivorous the eaters are. I
use flank steak for these, but any steak or pieces of tender meat for
skewering can be used.

For either marinade: Score both sides of steak in a diamond pattern with a
sharp knife. Mix ingredients with the steak in a ziplock freezer bag. Press
to expel air and let meat marinate from 2-24 hours.  Preferably cook on a
grill over coals or electric heat, turning once, to the desired degree of
doneness.  I don't baste the meat with the marinade because it is already
pretty salty, but that is a taste thing.  Slice in thin (1/8-1/4 inch)
slices across the grain. This is just as good room temp as hot - a
consideration for shabbat?

Title: Tsr'S Version Of Applebee'S Oriental Chicken Salad
Yield: 1 Serving

Ingredients

           Oriental Dressing
      3 tb honey
  1 1/2 tb rice wine vinegar
    1/4 c  mayonnaise
      1 ts dijon mustard
    1/8 ts sesame oil
           Salad
      1    egg
    1/2 c  milk
    1/2 c  flour
    1/2 c  corn flake crumbs
      1 ts salt
    1/4 ts pepper
      1    boned and skinned chicken 
           -breasts
      2 c  vegetable oil; for frying
      3 c  romaine lettuce; chopped
      1 c  red cabbage
      1 c  Napa cabbage
    1/2    carrot; shredded
      1    green onion; chopped
      1 tb sliced almonds
    1/3 c  chow mein noodles

Instructions

Preheat oil in deep fryer of deep pan over medium heat. You want the
temperature of the oil to be around 350 degrees. Blend together all
ingredients for dressing in a small bowl with an electric mixer.Put
dressing in refrigerator to chill while preparing the salad. In a small,
shallow bowl beat egg; add milk and mix well. In another bowl,
combine flour with corn flake crumbs, salt and pepper. Cut chicken
breast into 4 or 5 long strips. Dip each strip first into the egg mixture,
then
into the flour mixture, coating each piece completely. Fry each
chicken finger for 5 minutes or until coating has darkened to brown.
Prepare
salad by tossing the romaine with the red cabbage, Napa cabbage, and
carrots. Sprinkle sliced green onion on top of the lettuce. Sprinkle
almonds
over top, then the chow mein noodles. Cut the chicken into small bite-sized
chunks. Place the chicken onto the salad, forming a pile in the middle.
Serve with salad dressing on the side.

NOTES : One of the BEST copycat recipes I've found! I used
saltine cracker crumbs instead of the cornflakes. I also tossed the
dressing into the salad before serving, to make it more like the
Applebee's way. I doubled the recipe for the whole thing, but didn't
use more than 2/3 of the dressing. EXCELLENT. And the good thing
about making this one at home is I can use less dressing, or add extra
almonds.:) I also didn't use NEARLY that much oil. Don't panic when
you see the calorie count on this thing;that's thinking that you intake all
the
oil, egg, etc.:)

      1    ; (4)
      2 tb sugar
    3/4 c  red wine vinegar

      1 lb tuna steak
    1/4 c  mayonnaise
      2    ripe haas avocados
    1/4 c  lemon juice
      2 tb olive oil
    1/2 c  finely chopped fresh 
           -cilantro

      1    ; 1/4-inch wide
      8    thin slices unpeeled apple; 
           -for garnish

Instructions

TO MAKE THE TOMATO MARMALADE: In a non-reactive 9-inch skillet bring the
tomatoes, sugar, red wine vinegar, garlic, and cinnamon stick to a hard
boil.
Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes or until
almost all the liquid has evaporated. About 1/2 cup will remain and the
mixture will look syrupy. Discard the cinnamon stick, season to taste with
salt and pepper and cool to room temperature.

TO MAKE THE TUNA: In a broiler or stove-top grill, over high heat, cook the
tuna for 3 to 5 minutes per side or until charred on both sides, depending
on
the thickness of the tuna and the degree of doneness you prefer. Remove and
cool completely. When completely cool, cut into 1/4-inch dice, combine with
the mayonnaise and season with salt and pepper to taste.

TO MAKE THE AVOCADO LAYER: Right before serving, peel, pit, and cut the
avocados into 1/4-inch dice. Combine the dice with the lemon juice, olive
oil,
cilantro and season with salt and pepper to taste.

TO ASSEMBLE THE COCKTAIL: Layer the ingredients in eight martini or 6-ounce
wine glasses beginning with the tuna layer in the bottom of the glass,
followed by 1 tablespoon of the tomato marmalade and topped with the
avocado
on top. In each glass stick a thin strip of red pepper in the center of the
cocktail. Take a very thin apple slice, core the side of the slice, make a
small incision in the center and place the slice on the edge of the glass
for
garnish.

Title: Typical Chinese/Taiwanese Breakfast Foods
Yield: 1 Servings

Ingredients

      1    info file

Instructions

Congee ("jook" in Cantonesese and "zhou" in Mandarin) is not only a
breakfast food.  It's poached rice made into a thick soup, sometimes
cooked with small pieces of vegetable or sausage.  It can be made in
a rice cooker, but is just as easy to cook on the stovetop.  Purists
say perfect congee demands hours of slow cooking, but I have tasted
fine stuff that has cooked for no more than an hour.  A lot of people
pour soy sauce over it when served.  There is also "zi mi zhou" or
purple-rice congee on the mainland in Sichuan, eaten at any time,
especially at "xiao chi" (fast-food) joints.

In Hong Kong, bread sticks (C. "yao tiu" or M. "you tiao," oil
sticks) are virtually identical to Mexican churros -- lengths of
bread dough, slightly twisted, and deep-fried.  They are frequently
served with congee, along with steamed flat rice noodles (C. "cheung
fun" or M. "chang fen," broad noodles), which are sometimes filled
with sausage or shrimp and atop which soy sauce usually goes.

In Hong Kong and parts of Guangdong, "yam cha" ("drink tea") is the
classic weekend breakfast for families to meet and eat, analogous to
Sunday brunch or a pancake breakfast.  It's usually just dim sam in a
dim sam house. In the north, breakfast is often just congee or even
cold rice, with perhaps some sausage on the side or a
thousand-year-old egg, and possibly other small tidbits of preserved
fruit and vegetable. In other parts of the country, noodle soups,
dumplings, and steamed buns are natural breakfasts. For everyday
meals, there is not always so much difference between breakfast,
lunch, and dinner in China as we see in the West, though dinner out
or dinner parties are usually richer in meat and hot dishes.
